Why are there four Gospels?

The title of this episode is a question from one of our listeners. Dan Weatherall and Jon Davies explore what's behind it and find that there are even bigger questions to consider, like why are there differences between the Gospels?  How we answer that gets to the heart of what the Gospels are for and how we read them.  Listen in and see what you think!

There is so much baggage attached to the concepts of 'the Spirit of God' or 'the Holy Spirit' that it can be really difficult to know where to start in understanding what the concept means in scripture and in our daily lives.  Sam Thomas talks to Paul Davenport about how to unpick the basic concept and its meaning in scripture. Listen in to find out what it's all about!

The Bible and History - a case study

The connection between the Bible and history is complicated... should the Bible be treated as objective, literal history or should we see it as all myths?  Is it possible to find the truth somewhere between those two extremes? Dan and Paul explore these questions by using one of the ancient kings of Judah - Hezekiah as a case study.
