Krista Tippett, host of the award-winning public radio show Speaking of Faith has recently released a new book, Einstein's God: Conversations About Science and the Human Spirit which presents ten Speaking of Faith programs exploring the relationship between science and religion.                                 
                                                                                                        

In the introduction to Einstein's God, Tippett declares that "the science-religion 'debate' is unwinnable, and it has led us astray." Far from making religion null and void, says Tippett, scientific discovery is driving theological inquiry to new places. Says the radio host, "Neuroscience is throwing up some of the most interesting theological questions of the 21st century." Because she finds strident arguments from both sides of the science and religion debates so unsatisfying, Tippett works hard to "go behind the headlines" on these issues. The veteran journalist believes she has long been walking a parallel path with the Templeton Foundation. Indeed, Tippett has interviewed several Templeton Prize winners, including theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson, astrobiologist Paul Davies, and particle physicist John Polkinghorne, who is also a theologian and priest. Those interviews are also part of Einstein's God. Further information about the book release
