Jonathan Merritt is an award-winning journalist. He helps me understand what’s really going on when religion and the news come together and his role as a translator between culture, religion and society. His perspective is unique and offers him the chance to critique religion as much as translate it. We explore why sacred language matters for understanding each other and the world.

His book, Learning to Speak God from Scratch is worth a read.
