A Matter of Faith
On Sunday 11th January 2009 Channel 4 screened the first episode of an eight part series looking at Christianity. The Radio Times described it as follows:
“Eight public figures, eight different perspectives on Christianity. A major new series explores the religion’s often controversial past – and where it might be heading.”
A Matter of Faith will be covering the following:
Week 1 Howard Jacobson on “Jesus the Jew”
Week 2 Michael Portillo on “Christianity and the Roman Empire”
Week 3 Dr Robert Beckford on “Christianity in Britain”
Week 4 Rageh Omaar on “Christianity and the Crusades”
Week 5 Ann Widecombe on “The Reformation”
Week 6 Kwame Kwei-Armah on “Christianity in Africa”
Week 7 Professor Colin Blakemore on”Science and Christianity”
Week 8 Cherie Booth QC on “Christianity now and in the future”
I saw a couple of previews of the first one and my original intention was not to watch it as it reminded me of some programmes I have previously seen on TV that try to undermine traditional Christian teaching and the Scriptures. However I had a change of heart and decided I’ll give the series a try!
