Mark Tully concludes his exploration of the relationship between reason and religion in the company of theologian Keith Ward, who maintains that religious faith is rational, and doubt can be irrational.

In part one of the series Mark discussed how rational science might need help from religion in answering the important questions in life. In this final programme he explores the idea that religion has to adapt to advances in science and, by doing so, benefits greatly.

In the end, Mark wonders if any of us, religious or not, are quite as rational as we think we are in our faith or our scepticism, if we fail to take into account the conclusions of others when they conflict with our own.

The readers are Emily Raymond, Frank Stirling and Peter Guinness.
