This is a synoptic look at the philosophy of John Hick, focussing mainly on his theodicy. It includes reference to his views on life after death, and his 'demythologizing' of the Bible.  This podcast is designed to extend / broaden the understanding of some key areas of the A Level RE course, however other curious minds are welcome to listen in too! Unlike the Flipped Learning series, there are no retrieval or reflection questions to accompany this podcast. Just sit back and enjoy!

Following from the previous episode where I talked about Logical Positivism & the Verification Principle, here I talk about the religoius philosophy of John Hick, and the Falsification Principle from Karl Popper & Anthony Flew. I also introduce 2 of the main criticisms of falsification from Basil Mitchell and RM Hare. This podcast is specifically intended for students of A Level Religious Studies, but any curious mind is welcome to listen in too!
