Barbara Brown Taylor talks to Martin Wroe about Holy Envy: Finding God in the faith of others

Barbara Brown Taylor says that it wasn’t until she began digging into the faith of those who didn’t share hers, that she really began to understand her own. It was this journey towards meeting God in “so many new hats” that ignited her “holy envy” – the title of her new book, published in the UK by Canterbury Press. Barbara Brown Taylor sat down with Martin Wroe at the Church Times offices to talk about the book, which is available from the Church Times Bookshop at £15.29. An edited version of the interview is printed in our first Summer Books supplement, which comes with this Friday’s Church Times (28 June). The 12-page supplement includes holiday reading recommendations from contributors including Paula Gooder, Malcolm Guite, Fergus Butler-Gallie, Bishop Stephen Cottrell, and Eve Poole. There are also reviews of novels, non-fiction, and spiritual titles.
