This week Clare is joined by a special guest, Jeronne Rudder to discuss the question: 'How can we read the bible well?' This is for anyone who struggles to make sense of scripture or desires to have a fuller understanding of what they're reading. The significance of cultural, historical and theological contexts are explored as well the importance of biblical literacy.

Jeronne is the founder of Uhambo, a subscription-based bible resource designed to make ancient truths applicable to modern believers seeking to bring the bible alive. He is also a Pastor at Emmanuel Gateway Church in Lewisham.

This week we return to exploring arguments for God’s existence, specifically the Moral Argument. Do we need God for morality? Clare talks through what the moral argument is and what it's not. It’s designed to help us grapple with the foundations of objective moral values, and how perhaps this points us to God.

On this episode Clare looks at stories of Ancient Egypt which describe Aset (Isis) and her alleged virgin birth/immaculate conception. The idea that Christianity copied from story is closely examined, alongside the interpretation of Egyptian carvings which predate and tell a seemingly similar account to the resurrection of Jesus.

The allegation that Christianity is copied is popular within the Black community. It's the idea that Christianity's colonial power stole and reformulated ideas from Kemeticism, ancient Egyptian religion. Clare explores this objection, looking at the Afrocentric and European scholarship which underpins its claims.
