On this week's episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, has his first returning guest! He talks to Ross Douthat, conservative columnist at the New York Times, about his just-released book, "Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious." They talk about why we need a new book about religion (PEG was originally skeptical, but reading Ross's book convinced him), why sociological change has made religious belief a newly-important topic, why spiritual experiences and miracles are serious topics of investigation, and finally, why demons are real.
