Jonathan Merritt: The Translator
from Faith in the Time of Corona · host CBA
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. You can find out more about Jonathan Merritt at JonathanMerritt.com, on Twitter and Instagram. His book, Learning to Speak God from Scratch is worth a read.
