Thinking About Faith
I just finished Krista Tippett's book "Speaking of Faith - Why Religion Matters - and How To Talk About it " . So one of Krista's thesis's is that it is not so important what we believe as how we talk to each other about our beliefs. I love this woman's approach and I believe it is the way for the world's future religions if we are to achieve any type of spriritual unity or just mutual respect. We need to do more listening and less advertising of our own beliefs. Krista mentions Karen Armstrong's book, The History of God, and it's on my list. So far the books I've read of value on the topic of faith are The Evolution of God (Robert Wright), Speaking of Faith (Krista Tippett) and Holy The Firm (Annie Dilliard). None of them try to convince me of anything; they just present ideas and approaches to the subject.
