About Liars and Heretics
Welcome to "Liars and Heretics" where we take a light-hearted but in depth exploration into the complexities of the Christian faith. This podcast draws inspiration from two profound quotes: “Anyone who tries to describe the ineffable Light in language is truly a liar; not because he hates the truth, but because of the inadequacy of his description.” - Gregory of Nyssa and “The world is kept alive only by heretics: the heretic Christ, the heretic Copernicus, the heretic Tolstoy. Our symbol of faith is heresy.” - Yevgeny Zamyatin These quotes encapsulate themes central to my recent writings, which I'm excited to share with you here, soundtracked by original music. Expect to hear excerpts from my books, presented in serialized form, exploring diverse topics in what I hope is a thoughtful and interesting way, ranging from God creating dinosaurs to be giant rolling pins, divine visions of the singer, Jon Bon Jovi, what the Bible actually says about things like Hell, sexuality and the devil, and whether the singer Belinda Carlisle is one of the most influential theologians of our time! .Join me as we delve into these topics, aiming to provoke thought, inspire curiosity, and perhaps have a few laughs along the way.

Unanswerable – Heaven
Is the idea of heaven all that it lives up to be, or could the reality of it actually be worse than Hell? What will Heaven be like and what can we learn from the 80s pop star Belinda Carlisle?

Unanswerable - The Trinity
Do we really understand the Trinity? Is it like water or is it like and egg, or are all of the analogies and ideas we have actually heretical? Does the Holy Spirit eat locusts? Is Jesus a pirate?

Unanswerable - Biblical Inerrancy
The first topic explored in the book, the Bible and how we read it. What does it mean for the Bible to be true? What is the importance of context? How loud is a mini big bang? Does Brian Cox have the answer to the universe, or does he just have great hair?! In this episode I look at the Bible, what it is, how we read it and what Biblical inerrancy means for us.
