    Episode Twenty Seven: Secularisation, Should we separate the Church and state, if so - how?

    In this episode, we go through different forms of secularisation and the impact that they have had on different countries such as France. In addition, we discuss the impact of secularization on both schools and governments, while also delving deeper into what secularization is and if it is a postitive or nagative impact on western culture, through the lens of popular new atheist Richard Dawkins and other counterpart scholars such as Terry Eagleton.

    Episode Twenty Six: Gender and Theology - Can a male saviour save women?

    In this episode, we explore the Feminist Theology of Mary Daly and Rosemary Radford Ruether. We discuss their perspectives on God as male and the potential problems this raises for Feminists and compare their ultimate judgements on Christianity: should it be reformed or entirely abandoned? As always, we end with a debate evaluating whether Daly can be a source of inspiration.

    Episode Twenty Four: Pluralism in Society - Can there be constructive dialogue between different faiths?

    In this episode, we explore the practical side of pluralism. We look at different perspectives on interfaith dialogue, from exclusivist, inclusivist and pluralist perspectives. We also discuss the scriptural reasoning movement which is hailed as one of the most successful attempts at fruitful interfaith dialogue. We apologise for the poor audio quality of this episode. It was not recorded in our usual location, so the acoustics were far from optimal.
