Religious pluralism

Journalist John Allen has a book about the new pope, The Rise of Benedict XVI: The Inside Story of How the Pope Was Elected, and Where He Will Take the Catholic Church.

Theologian Harvey Cox's new book explores the growth of religion, particularly amongst politically active or disenfranchised communities. He explores how this trend manifests itself in both fundamentalist circles on the right and practitioners of liberation theology on the left.

Episcopal priest Ralph Moore and Rabbi Mayer Selekman return to Fresh Air to talk about their perspectives on faith traditions beyond Christianity and Judaism, morality, and death.
