CONVERSATIONS ABOUT GOD AND THE HUMAN SPIRIT

Tippett describes religion and science as “pursuits of cohesive knowledge and underlying truths” and seeks to dispel the erroneous assumption that these two realms of inquiry are in opposition.

Tippett looks to Einstein’s “self-described ‘cosmic religious sense’” as a key example of how spiritual insights deepen the resonance of scientific discoveries and vice versa. As listeners to her Peabody Award–winning radio program, Speaking of Faith, know,

Tippett is driven by a genuine hunger for understanding of how the revelations of religious traditions, spiritual practices, and cutting-edge findings in science and medicine can help us live more giving and fulfilling lives and create a less polarized society. Tippett sparks a mind-expanding synergy by gathering 13 far-reaching and often-moving discussions with luminaries working in an array of disciplines, including physicist Freeman Dyson, Darwin scholar James Moore, and surgeons and writers Sherwin Nuland and Mehmet Oz.

Impressively well informed, thoughtful, intrepid, and articulate, Tippett steadfastly pilots her ardent conversations toward an elegant clarity, ensuring that complex concepts are comprehensible and relevant to everyone. –Donna Seaman

Few characters in the New Testament have been so sorely miscast as Mary Magdalene, whose reputation as a fallen woman originated not in the Bible, but in a sixth-century sermon by Pope Gregory the Great.

Not only is Mary Magdalene misidentified as the repentant prostitute of legend, meditating and levitating in a cave, but she was not necessarily even a notable sinner: Being possessed by “seven demons” that were exorcised by Jesus, she was arguably more victim than sinner. And the idea, popularized by The Da Vinci Code, that Mary was Jesus’ wife and bore his child, while not totally disprovable, is the longest of long shots.

A former nun, Karen Armstrong left her convent in the late 1960s, and for 13 years she distanced herself from organized religion. She ended up working in television, and on an assignment in Jerusalemshe had a kind of epiphany about the similarities among the major world religions. It was the study of those religions that allowed her to revisit her own faith.

Armstrong published her first book, Through the Narrow Gate, in 1982. Twenty-seven years and more than 20 books later — including the best-selling A History of God — Armstrong releases her latest book, The Case for God. In it, she argues that religion is a practical discipline that teaches us to discover new capacities of the mind and heart.

WHY NOT SUPPORT A CHURCH THAT ACCEPTS SAINTS AND SINNERS, BELIEVERS AND NON-BELIEVERS?  DO YOU KNOW ANY PASTORS THAT WILL ACCEPT NO MORE INCOME THAN THE AVERAGE OF HIS/HER/ITS FOLLOWERS?  THE CREATOR SURELY MADE THEM ALL AND THAT MAKES THEM A PART OF US, DON’T YOU THINK?

HOW DO THE NEWS NETWORKS AND TALK SHOW HOSTS MAKE MONEY?  BY ATTRACTING MORE LISTENERS AND VIEWERS TO THEIR PROGRAMS.  HOW DO THEY DO THAT?  BY STATING HALF-TRUTHS (AND WHOLE LIES) THAT NEVER COME TRUE, BUT EXCITE PEOPLE TO TUNE IN. 

HOW DO MANY CHURCHES AND NON-PROFIT ORGS MAKE PROFITS?  COULD IT BE THAT THEY POINT OUT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OTHER GROUPS AND THEMSELVES AND HOW SOMEHOW THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TRUTH?

I’M ALL FOR A PERSON HAVING THE RIGHT TO MAKE ALL HE CAN ON HIS OWN, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING IT OFF THE BACKS OF HIS/HER/ITS EMPLOYEES AND BANKRUPTING THEIR PENSIONS AND BENEFITS…DO YOU THINK THAT IS DEMOCRACY, BEING FAIR?

HOW CAN WE EVER HAVE A MORE FAIR ELECTION SYSTEM THAN THOSE WHO RAISE THE MOST MONEY WILL WIN THE ELECTIONS?  COULD IT BE THAT WE DO AWAY WITH THE 2 PARTY SYSTEM, LET ANYONE RUN FOR OFFICE AND LIMIT THEM ALL TO A SAME LEVEL OF FINANCES?

I WON’T EVEN MENTION THE CORRUPTION OF LOBBYISTS WHO PAY POLITICIANS NOT TO LISTEN TO YOU.
