Product Description:
Insightful and thought-provoking conversations exploring religion—and atheism—from diverse spiritual, cultural and political perspectives, as heard on the Peabody Award-winning radio show Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
One of the most popular programs on public radio, Fresh Air is carried by over 500 stations and in Europe on the World Radio Network. Each week, nearly 5 million listeners tune in to hear probing and reflective interviews about arts, culture and politics.
This new collection features interviews with an array of guests with diverse perspectives, from evangelical to atheistic, and the many places in between: Religious scholars Bart D. Ehrman and Karen Armstrong, scientist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), novelist Tim LaHaye, geneticist and evangelical Christian Francis Collins, Saturday Night Live's Julia Sweeney (Letting Go of God), and many more. As in previous Fresh Air collections, Terry Gross brings out the best in her guests with a variety of compelling interviews.

Rating:  - A thought-provoking collection of interviews of interest to all.
Having bought the Terry Gross collection of interviews with writers, I looked forward to finding another collection, and this one was offered for review through the Vine program.

Rating: - Refreshing and open debate on religions.
I honestly do not listen to NPR all that often. Maybe every once and a while I grab something interesting on and it catches me.

This is quite a comprehensive collection of interviews that Terry Gross does on 3 CD's. Roughly 3.5 hours total some are longer than others but 5 interviews per CD.

Rating: - Classic "Fresh Air."
Review of Fresh Air with Terry Gross: "Faith, Reason, and Doubt (Interviews on Religion)."
Like millions of other people I have been listening to Terry Gross for years. She has cultivated a well deserved reputation for her intelligent interviewing acumen.
"Faith, Reason, & Doubt" is the latest Fresh Air compilation consisting of fifteen interviews that represent the vast spectrum of religious, atheistic, humanistic, and other spiritual perspectives from the likes of ... Read More
Rating:  - The more serious side of Terry Gross's Fresh Air interviews.
I love the previous volumes in the CD series of interviews from the NPR program Fresh Air with Terry Gross, which consisted of classic interviews with Film Directors (Martin Scorsese's interview sticks in my mind) and also classic comedians. I often play the short interviews for friends.
This latest volume of interviews - ranging in length from three to 15 minutes - is much different. Firstly, though Gross has been hosting Fresh Air for 25 years (it went national in 1985), the 15 interviews ... Read More
