In this Godpod renowned New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham joins the team for a discussion about the reliability of the Gospels and what we know about the historical Jesus. 

Mike, Jane and Graham talk about why the New Testament writings are considered to be God’s Word and other early Christian writings of this time are not. They also discuss whether God forgives our sins against him or just against other people, and whether our imperfect memories are a result of our fallenness.

In this Godpod, Graham, Jane and Mike discuss the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,  Did Jesus become the son of God at the transfiguration?  And prayer for healing.

Jane, Graham and Mike discuss a number of GodPod listeners’ recent questions including different interpretations of the Eucharist, how Christians should relate to the environment, and is there a possibility that God can sometimes ‘use’ the existence of evil to achieve a purpose?

Graham, Mike and Stephen are joined by Baroness Maeve Sherlock, Labour Peer and former Treasury special adviser. They discuss finding faith later in life, how Christianity transforms our worldview and the role of faith schools in Britain.

This week we join Mike, Jane and Graham in the 'bunker' who welcome Revd Dr Michael Ward, author of 'Planet Narnia' and 'The Narnia Code', to discuss the life and work of CS Lewis.

Mike, Jane and Graham are joined by Graham Kings, Bishop of Sherborne, and former missionary in Kenya, to discuss whether Christian and Muslims worship the same, whether it's ever right to stop evangelising, and whether Jesus was always divine, even when he was a child.

Turning off each other’s microphones, the home team hold the fort this week to discuss psychics, the paranormal and words of knowledge, the relationship between forgiveness and reconciliation, and unpack a question on death in the light of creation.

In this one, Graham Mike and Jane have fancy new microphones (so a better audio experience for all). They talk about the Prosperity Gospel, whether the fall is an event or a process, and whether the Holy Spirit is a person, a force or a thing.

Mike, Jane and Graham are joined by Dr Chris Tilling, New Testament specialist, to look at some thorny problems in the Bible, such as 'being baptised for the dead' in 1 Corinthians, speaking and singing in tongues, and the status of the Apocrypha. There's an extra seasonal discussion on whether Christians should teach their kids about Father Christmas!
