- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like that the interviewer allows the guest to answer the questions!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Quite an interesting collection of excerpts from interviews Terry Gross had on her NPR program Fresh Air with major religious figures and some unbelievers about their views and beliefs. The best were Richard Dawkins; Shalom Auslander; and Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire.
