Ogni settimana

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’.

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.

SINGLE: Good Missionary?

Africa is home to over 1.5 billion people and some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, but it still faces vast challenges. Thousands of missionaries have moved to Africa and made it their life’s work to help bring about change. John speaks with one of them.

REWIND: Just War

War is a horror – so how has Christianity, in its classical tradition, approached the human reality of war? Can it ever be justified on spiritual grounds? We looked at these questions in episode 55, ‘Just War’, back in 2021 - and given recent events, we thought now was a good time to revisit that episode.

177. Wes Huff

Wes Huff has made the historical case for Christianity to an audience of millions on some of the biggest podcasts in the world, including the Joe Rogan Experience and Diary of a CEO. It’s fair to say he’s having a bit of a moment. But is all this big-name podcast interest in Christianity evidence of something deeper? Is Christianity itself having more than just a moment?

176. Question Answer XVI

Is it ok for a Christian to enjoy secular music? Why did Jesus have to get baptised? And how does the church’s teaching on money compare to what the Bible actually teaches about it?

175. Literary Bible

The Oxford English Dictionary describes the Bible as a “library,” not a single work. But this library has been the most sold book in the world for millennia! So should we call this ultimate best-seller “literature”? There are many ways to read the Bible. But reading it as literature may help us see something easily missed: the Bible isn’t just a collection of texts any more than a symphony is just a collection of notes. The literary approach asks a simple question: how might the Bible’s story work on us?
