NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Audible, Inc., the world’s largest seller and producer of downloadable audiobooks and other spoken-word entertainment, today announced the release of Jim Wallis: In Conversation, an illuminating examination of the relationship between faith and public life. In this original Audible series, Sojourners founder Jim Wallis invites Rev. William Barber, Eboo Patel, Margaret Atwood, Valerie Kaur, Brittany Packnett, Mark Shriver, Michelle Alexander, Rep. Joe Kennedy, and Bryan Stevenson to discuss spirituality, religion, ethics, and justice. The nine-episode series is available for free on audible.com/JimWallis.
“There are moral values and choices that lie just beneath the surface of political headlines,” said Wallis. “We seldom discuss the connections among ethics, faith, social justice and the common good. In Conversation explores the two great hungers in our world today: the hunger for spirituality and the hunger for justice—and the crucial relationship between the two.”
“Jim Wallis: In Conversation gracefully tackles what faith means to those who stand for social justice,” said Andy Gaies, Chief Content Officer. “Listeners will be moved by the messages of hope found in these profound conversations with various cultural luminaries.”
Jim Wallis is a New York Times bestselling author, public theologian, speaker, and international commentator on ethics and public life. He served on President Obama’s White House Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and was chair of the Global Agenda Council on Values of the World Economic Forum. He is president and founder of Sojourners, a national faith-based organization and editor-in-chief of Sojourners magazine and online publications.
