BBC Radio 4 - Beyond Belief, Sin

Series exploring the place and nature of faith in today's world.

Ernie Rea explores explores the place and nature of faith in today's world.

Easter is the most important time in the life of the Church.  It’s the time when Christians retell the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion.  Christians believe that Jesus died to atone for the sins of the world.  But what does that actually mean and how do we define what a sin is?

Ernie Rea is joined in the studio to discuss  what we mean by sin by Dr Gemma Simmonds, Director of the Religious Life Institute in Cambridge; Robyn Ashworth-Steen, Rabbi at Manchester Reform Synagogue and a former human rights lawyer; and Davinder Panesar, transpersonal  psychologist and author. 

Producer:  Amanda Hancox

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
