Is belief in God rational, or is it something no reasonable person should accept?
Tom Wright and Mike Bird begin with a thoughtful look at church models, exploring how the New Testament envisions the people of God, why no single structure is “the” biblical one, and how modern churches can still reflect the unity and mission of early Christian communities.
Christian thinker Joe Boot and Muslim scholar Hafsar debate what Christianity and Islam each teach about the identity of Jesus — from His birth and miracles to the crucifixion, resurrection, and second coming.
In our fractured, fearful world, many Christians are asking: Is it ever right to fight?

What is really real? In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr Zachary Ardern (evolutionary biologist, Wellcome Sanger Institute), Dr Alex Carter (philosopher, University of Cambridge), and Dr Sam McKee (science historian, Manchester Metropolitan University) sit down to revisit one of the oldest debates in human thought — the relationship between science, religion, and ultimate reality.
