Theology, Drugs, and Zen

on BBC Radio 3

Three talks by R. C. ZAEHNER. Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics in the University of Oxford, and Fellow of All Souls College 1: The Irrelevance of Theology The old house has collapsed behind our backs and when we came to take our place in the homes of the young, they hadn'yet found out how to build their own, and we found ourselves in an indeterminate sphere, among the stones and the rafters, in the rain.... These words were written by the French novelist Georges Bernanos in 1926. The young look for guidance and find none, only blind guides chattering to dead souls. Dead souls longing to come to life. But who, Professor Zaehner asks, is to give them life? (2: The Other God - 10 Oct)
