Early Praise for

EINSTEINS GOD

KristaTippett has a knack for finding thinkers who tackle deep and important questions in a sober but uninhibited fashion. The result is an exhilarating exploration of the meaning of it all.

Robert Wright, author of The Evolution of God

No one has a better ear for the most interesting facets of faith than KristaTippett. And few topics lend themselves better to her nuanced interviews than the clash/collaboration/interplay of science and religion. If you want something beyond black-and-white culture war battles, youll find these interviews powerfully stimulating.

Steven Waldman, founder and editor in chief, Beliefnet

In this sparkling book of interviews, KristaTippett demonstrates that science and religion both benefit from a genuine dialogue. It doesnt matter ifTippett is talking about free will or the anatomy of the soulshe is always probing, measured, and illuminating. This book is a hopeful reminder that the intellectual conflicts we take for granted dont need to exist.

Jonah Lehrer, author of How We Decide

And acclaim for KristaTippetts first book,

SPEAKING OF FAITH

In a day where religionor, rather, arguments over religion
divide us into ever more entrenched and frustrated camps, Krista
Tippett is exactly the measured, balanced commentator we need.
Her intelligence is like a salve for all thinking people who have felt
wounded or marginalized by the God Wars.

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

We need to take religion seriously. We need to give voice in our national life to religious and nonreligious people alike who understand, as Tippett does, that the crooked line dividing good from evil runs through each of us ... We should be grateful to Tippett not only for amplifying voices of sane faith but also for modeling in herself a public theology that manages to derive faith out of doubt and hope out of paradox.

Stephen Prothero, author of Religious Literacy

At a time when professional contrarians like Sam Harris and
Christopher Hitchens take the meaning and mystery out of religion,
Krista Tippett is a welcome voice of literate faith.

The Dallas Morning News

Speaking of Faith is a chronicle of ideas... It is also a memoir with a narrative thread that makes this book as compelling as any novel. In her book, as on the radio, Tippett is an intelligent observer, sophisticated and compassionate. Reading Tippett is like attending a dinner party with some of the most interesting minds in America and standing at the elbow of the hostess as she introduces each friend.

Catholic Online

KristaTippett is a master of nuance for whom the great questions of belief transcend the simple answers that modern religion too often supplies. This is a vision of faith as a grand and unifying struggle with the very nature of being, and it is both deeply thought and deeply felt. It is a reminder, in a time when too much that is evil happens in the name of creed, that the search for God can be transcendent and exquisite. Tippetts prose is lyrical and elegant, and her formulations are wise and profound; her arguments should move the secularist and the dogmatist alike to a new vision of peace.

Andrew Solomon, National Book Awardwinning author of The Noonday Demon

With the publication of Speaking ofFaith, Tippett brings her gracious spirit, and quest for depth and nuance to print... Speaking ofFaith should be required reading for all who are interested in effective public discourse around issues of faith in their broad expressions in contemporary North America.

Books & Culture

There is no more trustworthy guide to the challenges of faith in a dangerous world than Krista Tippett. With this book she has created an original and authentic place in the great debate of our time.

Yossi Klein Halevi, journalist and author of At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden: A Jews Search for God with Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land

As Tippett takes on issues from the science-and-religion debates to the future of progressive Islam, she shows herself to possess the same imaginative intellectual approach that she admires in some of her interview subjects.

Publishers Weekly

Overflowing with gems of wisdom, the book offers thoughts on matters related to faith, religion, and spirituality worth pondering as deeply as ones imagination allows.

Diane Raabe, Gather.com

A thoughtful, wide-ranging and highly approachable introduction to the possible in spirituality. Its one thinking persons open door to faith in the twenty-first century.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The brilliance of Krista Tippetts idea is to trust people to use the first person singular, to commit themselves with passion and clarity as they enlarge our urgent national conversation.

Martin E. Marty, Professor Emeritus of American religious history, University of Chicago

Speaking of Faith is of monumental importance and a source of light in a day and age when the darkness of intolerance, ignorance, and hate blinds humanity from itself.

Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl, professor of law, UCLA, and author of The Great Theft: Wrestling Islam from the Extremists

Krista Tippett manages to claim the middle spacea very large, inclusive spacewhere most of us live most of the time, a place in which we must ponder and live the abiding questions of faith, doubt, and meaning that have been at the heart of human experience from time immemorial.

Patricia Hampl

Speaking of Faith is a beautiful book written by one of public radios most beloved and respected interviewers. In Speaking of Faith Tippett embodies the humility and perseverance of the seeker and shows us beyond doubt how questions and not answers can be trusted to lead us closer to ultimate mystery. A wonderful read in a polarized world.

Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen, clinical professor,
UCSF School of Medicine, and author of
Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfathers Blessings
