Episode 45: “Before there was therapy, there was religion”

We’re speaking with Professor Michael Alexander, professor of religious Studies and Jewish Studies at U.C. Riverside, about writing about the history of human spirituality. Alexander’s recent book, Making Peace With the Universe: Personal Crisis and Spiritual Meaning is very different from his previous book, Jazz Age Jews, in part because it includes an honest examination of his own life. We talk about moving from book one to book two; the challenges of including the personal in scholarly writing; and why it’s important follow our curiosity in our writing.
