Poverty

The regular team are joined by Paul Cowley of HTB and Matt Wilson of the Eden Project, to discuss their work in social transformation on the estates of London and Manchester.

What is the place of religious faith in secular politics? And should we give up everything for the poor? Shane Claiborne continues his discussion with Graham, Jane and Paula.

Andy Emerton, Director of St Paul’s Theological Centre, joins the GodPod team for the first time. The team open the discussion this week with consideration of Christian ideas about souls and physicality, in contrast with Platonic and Gnostic thought. They continue with the issue of poverty and the church, and go on to look at differences in approaches to the Bible between the Catholic, Orthodox and Protestants churches, particularly the canonicity of the Apocrypha.

Matthew Frost, director of the Christian development agency Tearfund, joins Graham, Mike and Jane to talk about poverty and social justice.
