To date, SoF’s biographical series has contributed to a deeper understanding of the role of belief and spirituality in the work and legacy of diverse, influential historical figures. The current series consists of seven programs that already have been produced and broadcast. These programs profile a distinct range of people: Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Rumi, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Aimee Semple McPherson,Reinhold Niebuhr, and Hunkpapa Lakota chief Tatanka Iyotanka. |
