Have you ever heard someone say that they were "spiritual," but not "religious?" Our guest in this episode, Stephen Prothero, offers a "pre-history" of this idea. According to Prothero, the move from traditional/institutional/confessional "religion" to seeker "spirituality" runs through the Eugene Exman, the religion editor at Harper Brothers from 1928-1965. Throughout his long career, Exman published Harry Emerson Fosdick, Howard Thurman, Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King Jr., and others. Join us for a discussion of Prothero's recent book God the Bestseller: How One Editor Transformed American Religion a Book at a Time.
