28: Circle of Hope with Eliza Griswold

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eliza Griswold joins us to talk about her new book Circle of Hope that paints a portrait of a progressive evangelical church through immersive journalism.

Other podcast guests have endorsed the book, describing it like this:

“With patience, intelligence, and compassion, Eliza Griswold traces the history of a Christian community and its leadership as they struggle to remain faithful to a radical vision through times of immense stress. A sharply contemporary book, painfully honest, stubbornly hopeful.”
―Rowan Williams, author of Passions of the Soul

“Eliza Griswold’s intimate portrait of one congregation introduces characters who are real enough to unveil something of the mystery of how a group of broken people who don’t live up to their ideals can, despite themselves, become good news.”
―Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, author of Revolution of Values
