Cooper & Cary Have Words James Cary & Barry Cooper

Back in August 2019, Barry and James finally bit the bullet and discussed predestination, as part of their ongoing project to please none of the people, all of the time. 

Here are some key passages in the unlikely event that you're following along at home:
Ephesians 1:3-12
Romans 8:28-30
Romans 9:10-24
Ephesians 2:8-9
John 6:44; John 6:65
Book: R C Sproul, What Is Predestination?
Article: John Piper, Watershed Differences Between Calvinists and Arminians

Back in June 2020, in times of Covid, Cooper and Cary donned their tin foil hats and had words about Conspiracy Theories and whether Christians should know better, following an article in Dallas News by Ed Stetzer and Andrew MacDonald.

Back in 2019, people were raving about Richard Rohr's The Universal Christ. Or were they just raving? What was all the fuss about? Cooper and Cary had words about Rohr's words. They did not like those words.

Our theme music is by Roger Taylor and his latest album is The Rubicon Moment. Other music and jingles by Barry, who really should have better things to do with his time.

We're still on summer hiatus. Thanks for bearing with. Here's a landmark episode from the archive you might not have heard. Back in March 2019, Barry and James 'celebrated' fifty episodes by apologising again, in true British form. But they also talk about what they would say to their twenty-year-old selves, and wonder whether their younger selves would have listened anyway. AND YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE!

Back in December 2017, before their regular theme tune and those daft jingles, Cooper and Cary were having words. In this episode, the words are about evangelism, asking questions, one of their favourite books - and is a faucet the same as a tap? And what on earth is a spigot? Oh, and stuff about Christian movies.
