My guest today is Rupert Sheldrake, a well-known biologist and author of groundbreaking books on science and spirituality. But the roles are a bit reversed this time. Instead of focusing on Rupert's ideas, we talked about one of my own books.
As you will hear in the introduction of the conversation, when we originally recorded this podcast a couple of years ago, I had just launched a book in Dutch which tackles the seven main myths about religion. I told Rupert that I hoped to one day publish an English translation as well. And that day has come. At the end of June, the translation was published by IFF books under the title Religion: Reality Behind the Myths.
As such, it seemed like a good idea to put this conversation with Rupert Sheldrake on my own Re-visioning Religion podcast channel. If, afterwards, you feel like reading the book, then you’ll find Religion: Reality Behind the Myths in your favorite online bookstore. Needless to say, it offers a more in-depth look at all the topics I discussed with Rupert and much more. Because of time constraints, we could of course only scratch the surface.
Those who’d prefer the video version can find the original on Rupert’s YouTube channel. But if you prefer the audio podcast, then please enjoy the conversation.
