Every week on Undeceptions we’ll explore some aspect of life, faith, history, culture, or ethics that is either much misunderstood or mostly forgotten. With the help of people who know what they’re talking about, we’ll be trying to ‘undeceive ourselves’ and let the truth ‘out’.

185: Dis / Ability

We have a troubled relationship with disability. Even the term ‘disability’ is contested. Perhaps disability is something to inspire us. Or something that calls for our compassion. Or simply something to accept and let be. How should we think about disability? Should we be trying to cure it? And what about disability in Heaven? In this episode of Undeceptions, we’re unpacking our assumptions about disability, dignity, suffering and difference—and asking what it means to be fully human.

184. Forgive Us

Christianity has a bit to say about ‘forgiveness’, both on a theological and a sociological level. In short, God forgives us, and Christians are therefore called to extend this forgiveness to those who’ve wronged them. But this raises a lot of questions. What does forgiveness actually mean? How does it work? Does it involve forgetting wrongs? Can you forgive someone who isn't sorry? What about profound abuse and injustice? The Christian emphasis on forgiveness has shaped our civilisation. But does it still make sense?

183. With Lennox

John Lennox is one of Christianity’s greatest living “Undeceivers”. His Irish charm, kindness, and general approachability defuse even the most intense debates - and he’s had many intense debates in his lifetime (Dawkins! Hitchens!) Through it all, Lennox has had one great aim … and it’s the aim of our podcast … to uncover the truth and beauty of Christianity in a world that doesn’t know what to make of it.

182. Tough Texts

The Bible is full of tough texts that can be off-putting to the curious sceptic. But at its best, Christianity stands smiling in the ring of history, science, culture, ethics, and all the rest, and invites anyone to take a swing. Don’t let these tough texts put you off; treat them as an entry point to the Bible and, just maybe, you’ll be surprised by what else you find.

Beautiful Maths

Almost everyone can remember the exact moment they gave up on mathematics. But for those who persist, many don’t just find maths useful; they find it beautiful. Some even go so far as to claim that mathematics is the ‘language of God’.

On Hildegard

It’s high time for an episode on the fabulous Hildegard of Bingen. This remarkable 12th-century nun’s work covered a vast amount of ground: she wrote about ecclesiastical history, science, medicine, botany, mineralogy and petrology, zoology and theology, mysticism, music, painting, and monastic architecture. She was also a travelling preacher, visionary, and geopolitical manoeuvrer. She’s now revered as a ‘Doctor of the Church’ - one of only 38 people awarded the title for their profound and lasting impact on Christian teaching. Other Doctors include Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great, and the Venerable Bede. So, Hildegard is in good company.

Spiritual ≠ Religious

The West might be becoming less ‘religious’, but according to many it’s becoming a lot more ’spiritual’. In fact, “spiritual but not religious” is described as a “rapidly growing faith group” in America, with as many as 20 per cent of people falling into the category. And yet, there’s nothing new about being spiritual but not religious; it’s been Christianity’s dancing partner – or maybe sparring partner - for thousands of years.

178. Against Ambition

High performers - athletes, business professionals, artists, and the like - inspire and motivate us. They give us benchmarks to strive for and show us what sort of life we might lead if we were the “greatest of all time” in a given field. But is striving to be the “greatest” actually good for us? Or does it do more harm than good? FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - CLICK HERE ' CREDITS Undeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne, directed and edited by Mark Hadley.
