    #176 Is the Book of Job funny? w/ Ellie Wiener

He's a Lecturer in Theology at Union Theological College, Belfast, so I guess he would, right?Support the Show.Unlock extended ad-free episodes, advance access, a huge episode archive, and bonus content, by subscribing to Cooper & C...

Great podcast

A few minutes in to my first listen, enjoying it already!

Karen drinks wine ,

Love it!

One of my favourite podcasts, entertaining, engaging and thought provoking look at a variety of issues.

O.Chis ,

Always interesting and provocative

I have been listening to this Podcast since it’s start and it is - and always has been! - one of my favourites. The ‘words’ are accessible without being trivial or patronising (huzzah!), and Cooper and Cary are actually quite funny too. They’ve cut out a lovely little niche for themselves in the genre.
