In this episode, we discuss the three key attributes of the Christian God - omnibenevolence, omnipotence and omniscience. We discuss the potential problems that arise from these different qualities, such as the question of whether God can do the illogical and if God's omniscience prohibits human free will. We look at the perspectives of many scholars, including Aquinas, Anselm, Augustine and Boethius.

In this episode we are grateful to be joined by our greatly knowledgeable friend Ned Evans ( Marxist philosopher). Together we understand what conditions in society led to the rise in Liberation theology as a contextual theology. Then we will understand what Marxism is and how it interacts with liberation theology according to scholars such as the 'Boff' Brothers and Gutierrez. Finally, we discuss the fundamental compatibility/ incompatibility of Christianity and marxism.

In this episode, we contrast the views of Aquinas and Freud on conscience, guilt and moral responsibility. We explore the three key aspects of Aquinas's understanding of conscience: Ratio, Synderysis and Conscientia. We also look at the three concepts that Freud believes result in our experience of conscience and importantly guilt. These are the Id, the Ego and the Super-Ego. We end the episode with a debate on falsifiability. Enjoy!

In this episode, we go through different forms of secularisation and the impact that they have had on different countries such as France. In addition, we discuss the impact of secularization on both schools and governments, while also delving deeper into what secularization is and if it is a postitive or nagative impact on western culture, through the lens of popular new atheist Richard Dawkins and other counterpart scholars such as Terry Eagleton.

In this episode, we explore the Feminist Theology of Mary Daly and Rosemary Radford Ruether. We discuss their perspectives on God as male and the potential problems this raises for Feminists and compare their ultimate judgements on Christianity: should it be reformed or entirely abandoned? As always, we end with a debate evaluating whether Daly can be a source of inspiration.

In this episode, we discuss the changing role of gender in society and the estrangement of the Church's views on family and sexuality from our increasingly secular society. Then, we will discuss the potential merits and flaws of this change in our societies' value systems and gender roles.

In this episode, we explore the practical side of pluralism. We look at different perspectives on interfaith dialogue, from exclusivist, inclusivist and pluralist perspectives. We also discuss the scriptural reasoning movement which is hailed as one of the most successful attempts at fruitful interfaith dialogue.

We apologise for the poor audio quality of this episode. It was not recorded in our usual location, so the acoustics were far from optimal.

In this episode we discuss the theology of religions from three broad perspectives: Exclusivism, Inclusivism and Pluralism. We explore two key questions of epistemology and soteriology, asking if more than one religion can save and if more than one religion can be True.

In this episode, we dive into the world of meta-ethics. We begin with Hume, exploring the is-ought problem and its consequences for claims about what 'Good' is. We share possible responses to the problem: Naturalism, Intuitionism and Emotivism; as always, we end with a discussion. Enjoy!
