The Daughters of Eve
There is no doubt that the bible spells trouble for women. Some parts are absolutely ripe with sexism and misogyny. However, historian Bettany Hughes preposes that it is actually very interesting what happened to women in the bible, and that it marked a turning point in the history of the gender.

Jesus
Irish ex-con Jerry Adams has always tried his hardest to incorporate Jesus into his life. Sometimes he was more successful than others. But now, he wants to know more about Jesus the man, not just Jesus the son of God.

St Paul
St. Paul did more to shape the moral and ethical presumptions of the ancient world than any other. He was far ahead of his time, suggesting that equality among man and change in society was actually for the better. Tom Holland discusses the relevancy of Paul's teachings then, and today.
Episode 7 • Mar 06, 2010
Revelation: The Last Judgement
The Book of Revelation is known to be a detailed description of the end of the world. Some believe it was designed to scare the masses into piety. In his childhood, our host Dr. Robert Beckford was taught that it was a prophetic truth. But now he wonders if there is more to it than the death and destruction that most people know.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
