On Being: Spirituality in Modern Times
Monday, January 28, 2013

Krista Tippett grew up in Oklahoma, attended Brown University, and
spent most of the 1980’s in divided Germany as a journalist. She wrote
her first book, Speaking of Faith (Penguin, 2007), in part to answer
the question she is often asked— how she went from the mode of
geopolitical engagement to becoming a student of theology. Emerging
from Yale with a Master of Divinity in 1994, she saw a black hole
where intelligent journalistic coverage of religion should be. While
conducting an oral history for the Benedictines of St. John’s Abbey in
Minnesota, Tippett began to imagine radio conversations on the
spiritual and intellectual content of faith, hence On Being, formerly
Speaking of Faith, was conceived. Tippet’s second book, Einstein’s
God: Conversations About Science and the Human Spirit (2010), argues
that science and religion, far from being mutually exclusive, are
complementary realms of inquiry.
