Speaking of Faith

In 'Speaking of Faith,' Krista Tippett chronicles her spiritual journey from her Oklahoma childhood to her studies at Yale Divinity School.

The book reflects her experiences as a journalist, diplomat, and host of the public radio program 'Speaking of Faith' (later renamed 'On Being').

Tippett engages in deep conversations with figures like Elie Wiesel, Karen Armstrong, and Thich Nhat Hanh to explore complex subjects such as justice, science, fundamentalism, evil, love, and mystery within the context of spirituality.

The book emphasizes the importance of inter-faith dialogue, the complexity of faith, and the need for a new 'language of virtue' that avoids partisan rhetoric and instead focuses on nourishing, edifying, and redemptive stories.
