More about the programme:
Weβre told that with Fake News flourishing, we live in an age of great credulity.Β But itβs also claimed that this is a period of intense scepticism: weβll take nothing on trust, demand facts, evidence, proof.
Tomorrow (Monday 3rd July) many churches will mark the feast day of a man remembered chiefly for his doubts.Β The New Testament accounts of his reluctance to believe in the Resurrection until he could see the wounds on Jesusβ body landed him the title βDoubting Thomasβ, by which heβs been tagged for centuries.Β But was he being honest or lacking in faith?Β Roy Jenkins and guests discuss his response and also the relationship between faith and doubt; when is it good for Christian believers to question and when is it dangerous?Β Β Are there some things which should be beyond doubt?
Roy Jenkins is joined by The Rev Mark Thomas, Chairman of the Evangelical Movement of Wales, and minister of Borras Park Evangelical Church in Wrexham. The Revβd Dr. Lorraine Cavanagh, an Anglican priest based in Monmouthshire who until this weekend was the acting General Secretary of Modern Church. AndΒ by the Rev Dr Anthony Thiselton, Emeritus Professor of Christian Theology at the University of Nottingham, also Anglican priest and his latest book βDoubt, Faith and Certaintyβ has just been published.
