We're talking with Dr Peter Williams, the Principal and CEO of Tyndale House, Cambridge. He has an MA, MPhil and PhD from Cambridge University in the study of ancient languages related to the Bible. He has had several teaching and lecturing positions over the years in Hebrew and Aramaic alongside being a research fellow at Tyndale House, Cambridge and Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of Divinity in the University of Cambridge. He is a member of the Translation Oversight Committee of the English Standard Version of the Bible. Most recently he has been assisting Dr Dirk Jongkind in Tyndale House’s production of a major edition of the Greek New Testament. In short, he knows his stuff about the bible.

Peter has debated Bart Ehrman over the accuracy of the gospels and has many talks that can be found on youtube around his book Can We Trust the Gospels?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Can-Trust-Gospels-Peter-Williams-ebook/dp/B07DNF73F2/

We are looking forward to quizzing him about manuscripts, accuracy of the gospels, historical evidences for Jesus and why you should take them seriously. Ask us any questions while we chat - this one is going to be good!

We're talking with Craig Northwood from @136Apologetics, a ministry with a focus on interacting with Jehovah's Witnesses and the various ways they differ from historic Christianity. Due to the topics that often come up with JWs we will most likely discuss who Jesus is, the Trinity and bible translations as well as what apologetics is. This conversation could go anywhere though...

Craig is a friend of the channel and you can find the last conversation with him on our Q&A live stream here: https://youtu.be/L9verkrpm6o

Peter Teagle has 20 years experience of working with international students and delivering talks to multi-cultural audiences events across the UK in that time. He has put his experience of answering questions of the Christian faith into a book that aims to both help the UK church and answer the questions internationals are asking.

We will be discussing the differences in questions and experiences for international students and why the UK church should adapt their student ministries rather than expect internationals to assimilate. We will also be talking about what it means to contextualise the gospel message and where Christians often get this wrong.

Are Christians transphobic? Why are churches not inclusive? How do Christians view gender? We're talking with Andrew Bunt about gender, what the bible says about it and why the church is still good news for those who are trans.

Andrew is part of the leadership team at King’s Church Hastings and Bexhill and is also a speaker and writer with Living Out. He studied theology at Durham University and King’s College London, specialising in biblical studies and biblical languages. He loves helping people to understand and apply the Bible and loves wrestling with big cultural issues. He is the author of 'Who in Heaven’s Name Do You Think You Are?' (Charis Books, 2014).

He regularly contributes for www.livingout.org and his story can be found here: https://www.livingout.org/resources/podcasts/1/meet-the-authors-1-andrew-bunt

We're talking to Anne about her journey with Christianity. On a more personal note, we are discussing sexuality and how she supports people who are attracted to the same sex and the challenges that raises for those who follow Jesus. We will be discussing why Anne holds the view she does about sexuality as well as how Christians can be better at providing community for all.

From Anne's website:

I wholeheartedly believe in the mission to invite people, families and communities into life-transforming relationships with Jesus. My local ministry is focused on sharing my faith, discipling Christians, social action and outreach. I also have a national role which involves telling the better story of biblical sexuality, encouraging churches in supporting same-sex attracted members and giving positive teaching on singleness, marriage, celibacy and community so that everyone can thrive.

Also see www.livingout.org for more resources on this topic.

On Thursday at 8pm we will be talking with Jana Harmon who has been interviewing Christians who were once atheists and changed their beliefs as adults. The Side B Podcast is well worth listening to:

"The SIDE B Podcast is a story-driven apologetics forum that helps listeners understand why and how people are pushed away or drawn towards God and Christianity, to ‘listen to the other side’ in a practical, conversational way.

Interviewing one former atheist each show, the SIDE B Podcast encourages both Christians and non-believers to listen to the stories and views of former atheists and learn their reasons for rejecting God, becoming open towards God, and eventually becoming a Christian.

In a culture that readily dismisses Christianity as not plausible and not attractive, SIDE B Podcast shows how and why thoughtful, intelligent people can and do move from disbelief to belief."

We will be discussing atheism, what has led people to change their minds and Jana's own story and what led her to be interested in setting up the podcast.

On Thursday at 8pm we will be talking about sharing Christianity with Muslim friends and neighbours but there will be much that relates to sharing faith with anyone and everyone! Rebekah Davis has spent a large amount of time in the Middle East, is fluent in Arabic and has a lot of stories about everyday encounters with Muslims and sharing faith naturally.

The last couple of streams we have done regarding Islam have been quite polemical, we hope this stream will be practical for Christians who may not have that much knowledge about Islam but love Jesus and want to talk about him but not sure where to start.

Rebekah is a friend of the channel after reaching out last year about her book and we are grateful that she is staying up late to chat with us!

She has written a book that we've recommended here: https://www.criticalwitness.uk/post/book-recommendation-bridges-of-love-and-understanding
