In a somewhat Christmas themed episode Robin is joined by the philosopher Julian Baggini and the former Dean of Guildford to talk about Julian’s new book, The Godless Gospel. They chat about the main question of Julian’s book, if we take the ‘magical’ elements out of The Bible, was Jesus a good moral teacher? They also talk about the philosophy of Jesus, the role of, and failures of, religion today, the writing of Richard Holloway and why the resurrection isn’t very good narratively.
