In this episode, Dr Bethan Willis talks to Professor John Coffey about his disciplinary brief on justice. They discuss his research in the history of religion and ideas, including his current major work on William Wilberforce. They also explore how questions of justice relate to historical research; the genealogy of rights, and Christian contributions to the development of rights; and how biblical narratives might help us in our current efforts to wrestle with historic injustices and questions of communal identity.
