Le: There's so much of what you said that makes me want to learn mored and explore some, some parallels, residences in the christian tradition as well. I mean, even what you talked about, the naming. The most important thing about god is that he speaks to us, right? O, one thingd, i don't want to leave this conversation without hearing just a little bit more about the unique way in which you approach your inner faith work. You've gone deeper into islamic theology than any guest in the history of this podcast.
This week Eboo Patel, a Muslim pioneer in interfaith work, joins David and Curtis to discuss his book, We Need to Build. They discuss the need to allow people of different faiths to be able to bring their whole selves, including real and significant religious disagreements, to these conversations. Eboo also helps us understand why it is so important to do more than criticize what we don’t like in the culture, but instead to adopt the more mature approach of actually building what we want to see in society.
