Robert Wright charts an intellectual path beyond the faith versus reason debate. He takes a relentlessly logical look at the history of religion, exposing its contradictions. Yet Wright also traces something “revelatory” moving through human history. In this public conversation — recorded before a live audience — we explore the story he tells, the import he sees in it for our culture, and where it has personally taken him. Our unedited conversation with journalist and scholar Robert Wright. This interview is included in our program “Robert Wright on The Evolution of God” and was recorded on February 2, 2010 in front of a live audience at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
