Speaking of Faith by Krista Tippett

Speaking of Faith by Krista Tippett

The host of the popular weekly program on National Public Radio talks about her journey from politics back to religion and a life of conversation. Includes excerpts from radio program.

For Krista Tippett, politics was the primary arena of human action, and reporting was the way to tell a story. The granddaughter of a Southern Baptist minister, raised in a family where life revolved around church, she dismissed her religious upbringing to become a journalist and a diplomat in Berlin. Still seeking the means by which the world could be made a better place, she returned to divinity school. Questioning the limits of politics, observing that strictly reporting about religion failed to penetrate its intellectual and spiritual content, she came up with an idea for a new radio program.

Speaking of Faith, the radio show, is public radio s weekly national conversation about belief, meaning, ethics, and ideas. Grappling with themes of American life, it asks how perspectives of faith might inform and illuminate our public reflection. Speaking of Faith, the audiobook, is Krista Tippett s own story of how she arrived where she is today on a journey of discovery shared by countless others.

Krista Tippett is a Peabody Award-winning broadcaster and the New York Times bestselling author of Becoming Wise, Einstein's God, and Speaking of Faith. In 2014, she received the National Humanities Medal at the White House for thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence. She is the host of the public radio program and podcast On Being.
