    Mike Snape - Christianity and the British Army

    How has the relationship between the British Army and Christianity changed over the past 70 years? What role has the Christian "just war" tradition played in shaping how the British Army approached and conducted recent armed conflicts? And is the partial resistance of the army to the secularisation of wider society simply because 'there are no atheists in foxholes'? In this episode Revd Dr Nick Moore, Warden of Cranmer Hall, speaks to Professor Mike Snape, Michael Ramsey Professor of Anglican Studies at Durham University about his new book Embattled Belief: Religion and the British Army from Korea to Afghanistan, published in May 2026.

    Neil Martin - What does Galatians have to say to us today?

    What is really going on Paul's letter to the Galatians?  How can we make sense of the idea that pagan converts were in danger of "returning" to something by adopting Jewish practices such as circumcision? And what light does the answer to that question shed on the relevance of the letter for Christian ministry today? In this episode Revd Dr Nick Moore, Warden of Cranmer Hall, speaks to Dr Neil Martin, member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion at Oxford University and Associate Pastor at Oxford Presbyterian Church about his book Galatians Reconsidered: Jews, Gentiles, and Justification in the First and the Twenty-First Centuries, which was released in 2022.

In this episode Revd Dr Josh Cockayne, Academic Dean at Cranmer Hall, speaks to Dr Scott MacDougall, Director for Theological Resources for the Episcopal Church, about his book The Shape of Anglican Theology, which was released in 2022.
