A Free Public Event

In her latest book, Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others, Barbara Brown Taylor, the renowned preacher and beloved New York Times bestselling author recounts her moving discoveries of finding the sacred in unexpected places while teaching world religions to undergraduates in rural Georgia. She weaves together stories from her classroom with reflections on how her own spiritual journey has been challenged and renewed by connecting with people of other traditions – even those whose truths are quite different than hers.
In conversation with Scot Sherman, Barbara Brown Taylor will discuss the promise of engagement with our spiritual neighbors, and how that engagement can strengthen our own faith.
Tickets are free but required.

What Others are Saying About the Book

This indispensable book guides us through America’s rapidly diversifying religious landscape, highlighting resonances between different religions, narrating moments of spiritual inspiration, and always emphasizing moments of human connection.

Eboo Patel
Author of Out of Many Faiths

I’ve long wanted a book like this to be written. And Barbara Brown Taylor is the perfect guide to finding God in other faiths. Her new book reminds us that God is bigger than any one religion. Prepare to come to know God in a new way.

James Martin, SJ
Author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Taylor writes spiritual nonfiction that rivals the poetic power of C.S. Lewis and Frederick Buechner.
