Lesley Hazleton is a British-American author whose work focuses on the intersection and interactions between politics and religion. Hazleton has reported from Jerusalem for Time, and has written on the Middle East for numerous publications including The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, Harper's, The Nation, and The New Republic. Hazleton has traced the roots of conflict in several books, including compelling 'flesh-and-blood' biographies of Muhammad and Mary, and casts an agnostic eye on politics, religion, and existence on her blog, AccidentalTheologist.com.
Her popular book, "Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto," celebrates the agnostic stance as rising above the flat two-dimensional line of belief and unbelief, creating new possibilities for how we think about being in the world. In it, she explores what we mean by the search for meaning, invokes the humbling perspective of infinity and reconsiders what we talk about when we talk about soul.
