On this episode of No Cure for Curiosity, I spoke with Stephen Prothero, author, religion scholar, and now retired professor from Boston University. Throughout his career Stephen Prothero has promoted thoughtful public consideration about religion. He has been published in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street, and many other newspapers and magazines. He’s been a guest on network television, NPR, CNN, The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report.
Prothero published a book this year titled God the Bestseller: How one Editor Transformed American Religion a Book at a Time, a biography of Eugene Exman.If you have ever described yourself as "spiritual but not religious," or a "religious seeker," or if you've ever had a religious experience that you can't completely explain, I think you will enjoy my conversation with Stephen Prothero.
