Most people believe in a god of some shape or form, but for the committed atheist belief in any sort of god is untenable.

A series of five visits to scenes of past celebrated crimes, scandals and intrigue
2: 45 Cranleigh Drive, Ruislip
This suburban bungalow would seem an unlikely setting for a major Russian espionage cell but in 1961 a trail of treachery led from Ruislip to the Old
Bailey, and Britain's first Cold War 'show trial'. Roger Wilkes meets its present owner and recalls the uncovering of the Portland Spy Ring.

The second of six talks during Lent by The Rev
Richard Harries , Dean of King's College, London
2: Resurrection -
The Empty Tomb?
In recent decades many New Testament scholars have regarded the empty tomb as a late legend in the Gospel narrative. Ironically, some
Jewish scholars have argued that, however interpreted, the empty tomb tradition is one of the best authenticated in the New Testament.
In this second talk
Richard Harries challenges the sceptical scholar and explores the tradition of the empty tomb.

Explorers Extraordinary
The third of six programmes written by JOHN KEAY 3: Paddling for Christ with Narrator John Rowe
With John Rye and Brian Smith The unique approach of John MacGregor to the business of exploration was that he did it all in his own purpose-built canoe: it served both as his home and his means of transportation. He also, on his travels, distributed evangelical tracts. His climactic journey to explore the sources of the River Jordan brought him close to death: 'English one, Arabs many,' he cried as an Arab took aim with his rifle. But MacGregor survived to hold audiences spellbound with a dramatised account of his adventures.
