Description

Where religion and reporting meet, the stakes are high, and the stories are deeply human. Writer and scholar Mark Oppenheimer joins Created in the Image of God to reflect on a life spent at the intersection of belief, culture, and public conversation. Known for his work with The New York Times, This American Life, and the groundbreaking Unorthodox podcast, Oppenheimer brings wit and candor to how faith traditions—his own Jewish background among them—can enrich our collective dialogue rather than divide it. Together, we explore what moral imagination journalism requires, how spiritual humility can coexist with critical inquiry, and why telling the truth about who we are remains one of the most sacred acts in a pluralistic world.
