This is because they are both awake to the fact that we live between two divergent realities: On one side, there is a world in our heads- and in our lives, so long as we are not contradicted by death and disaster- and that is a world of reason and plans, love, and purpose. Great believers and great doubters seem like opposites, but they are more similar to each other than to the mass of relatively disinterested or acquiescent men and women. I am indebted to Jennifer for coining the term “graceful life philosophy.” My concept of Secular Grace is an attempt to live a graceful life philosophy. It was my privilege to attempt to keep up with her in this interview. Jennifer proved to be as profound a thinker as her reputation makes her out to be. This book has strongly influenced my other two favorite books Greg Epstein’s Good Without God and Katherine Ozment’s Grace Without God. It is hard to express how much this book has influenced other secular writers and thinkers. ![]() I asked Jennifer to come on the show to discuss her book Doubt: A History and its profound effect on me post-deconversion. She has written numerous books from a secular perspective. ![]() Jennifer is a poet, an author, an award winning academic and an intellectual historian.
