Getting Revenge and Forgiveness (May 24, 2012) | Michael McCullough describes science that helps us comprehend how revenge came to have a purpose in human life. At the same time, he stresses, science is also revealing that human beings are more instinctively equipped for forgiveness than we've perhaps given ourselves credit for. Knowing this suggests ways to calm the revenge instinct in ourselves and others and embolden the forgiveness intuition. | 24 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Freelance Monotheism of Karen Armstrong (November 5, 2009) | Karen Armstrong speaks about her progression from a disillusioned and damaged young nun into, in her words, a "freelance monotheist." She's a formidable thinker and scholar, but as a theologian she calls herself an amateur -- noting that the Latin root of the word "amateur" means a love of one's subject. Seven years in a strict religious order nearly snuffed out her ability to think about faith at all. Here, we hear the story behind Armstrong's developing ideas about God. | 5 11 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Jaroslav Pelikan and the Need for Creeds (October 22, 2009) | For many modern Americans, the very idea of reciting an unchanging creed, composed centuries ago, is troublesome. But, the late Jaroslav Pelikan was a scholar who devoted his life to exploring the vitality of ancient theology and creeds. He insisted that even modern pluralists need strong statements of belief. We revisit Krista's 2003 conversation with him, as they discuss the history and nature of creeds, and how a fixed creed can be reconciled with an honest, intellectual faith that changes and evolves. | 22 10 09 | Free | View In iTunes |
