Is human history the story of inequality? Plus the canon and philosophy | Dr. Gerald Bray

This conversation with Dr Gerald Bray was recorded on September 24 2024. Gerald is the Director of research for Latimer Trust in London and Research Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School, Birmingham Alabama. Gerald has written major texts of theology such as God is Love, and God Has Spoken: A History of Christian Theology. For such a learned man, I’ve always found Gerald to be such a humble and down to earth person. In our conversation we covered the intersection of philosophy and theology; we covered history and how it relates to the Bible; we talked about the formation of the new testament canon; and I asked him a couple of personal questions about what difference following Jesus makes to his life. And like all good and profound conversations recorded online, there was some unwelcome hum which I’m hoping won’t be too distracting.
