Darwin kept reminding his colleagues that the Origin of Species was just an abstract. Why did he publish it hurriedly? He then promised to release a massive book that addressed the gaps in the abstract and provided more evidence. He never published it. Why didn't he? And what did 'Darwin's Bulldog' Huxley feel about the Origin of Species? Robert Shedinger shares insights from his rabble rousing book that examined over 15K of Darwin's letters!

Hindi was a language that was created for the common folks by a foreign Christian missionary. The reason? Sanskrit was considered an elite, religious language only to be spoken by the few. The efforts of Christian missionaries in enabling the Indian to communicate and disseminate ideas is overlooked and derided, often in Hindi speeches. Linguistic scholar and researcher Dr Babu K Verghese unpacks the riveting historical contributions made by "Bible people" to uplift Bharat.

With the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, the discourse on abortion has increasingly gained prominence world over including in India. However the pro-life movement in India has not garnered the visibility it deserves in comparison to the pro-abortion movement. In this episode we contextualize the abortion issue to India by talking to Johanna and Simon Durairaj, founders of the pro-life organization Life for All. We tackle major misconceptions, talk about Indian ground realities concerning abortion and look at the Indian church’s response to this pressing issue.

One of the "nastiest evangelists". That's how Rajiv Malhotra tagged William Carey. But is this foreigner the unsung father of modern India and not Raja Ram Mohan Roy? Why did he fight against Sati? Why did he contribute towards linguistic and agricultural leaps? More importantly, why did he do all this while his fellow countrymen looked to merely pillage India? Vishal Mangalwadi joins in on what is an insightful dialogue about a well known man's little known contributions.

As if almost out of nowhere, God is making a stunning comeback in the West. New atheism's leading voices have softened their approach to Christianity, spirituality and religion. Some have become Christians too! Secular thinkers are starting to realise that the air they breathe is distinctly Christian. The growing meaning crisis has shown that atheism has nothing to offer. In this dialogue author Justine Brierley unpacks how exactly the West came to realise they need God.

Does Christianity have a warm embrace for those who grapple with doubts and questions regarding the faith? If so how much should one ought to press those questions? What are the pitfalls when wrestling with doubts and questions? And how should the local churches help someone in that journey? Tim Barnett of Red Pen Logic converses on the sweeping trend of deconstructing the Christian faith and how we can best engage it with wisdom and love.

"Do the gods love the pious because they are good or are they good because the gods love them?" This ancient Greek dilemma has implications for the moral argument even today. And what if God commands us to commit an evil? Does it cease to be evil? Or does it remain evil?

Will anyone ever argue that the abhorrent evils around us aren't really evil? Will anyone say sexual assault is wrong for some and right for others? As it turns out, some may, if it means God's existence can be denied. How should one navigate such a dialogue? Tune in to find out.
