What is it like to be a preacher or rabbi who no longer believes in God? In this expanded and updated edition of their groundbreaking study, Daniel C. Dennett and Linda LaScola comprehensively and sensitively expose an inconvenient truth that religious institutions face in the new transparency of the information age - the phenomenon of clergy who no longer believe what they publicly preach.
In confidential interviews, clergy from across the ministerial spectrum - from liberal to literal - reveal how their lives of religious service and study have led them to a truth inimical to their professed beliefs and profession. Although their personal stories are as varied as the denominations they once represented, or continue to represent - whether Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Mormon, Pentecostal, or any of numerous others - they give voice not only to their own struggles but also to those who similarly suffer in tender and lonely silence. As this study poignantly and vividly reveals, their common journey has far-reaching implications not only for their families, their congregations, and their communities - but also for the very future of religion.

Would you consider the audio edition of Caught in the Pulpit to be better than the print version?
I can't say it is better than the print version, I don't have it. However, I did enjoy having both Mr. Dennett and Ms. LaScola narrate their own sections of the book.What did you like best about this story?
It was enlightening to see how different clergy handled the loss of their faith. That some ran from the pulpit, some were open to the congregations and some remained in the closet. And to hear about how they were treated both good and bad...What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
They were both great, and I love when the authors read their work, they are the only ones that can vocally express their points accurately.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This was a good book to listen to in sections. The sections seemed to be broken up well and the story, though related, is not continuous to a degree that you need to remember all of the names and details throughout.Enlightening insight...
