Don Cupitt , Dean of Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, explores the revolution in ideas that has brought humanity from the Middle Ages to today's crisis of faith.
2: The Human Animal
Until the time of Charles Darwin , faith had followed the book of Genesis in giving man a unique place in nature. Suddenly Darwin's theory of evolution seemed to make the idea of special creation by God impossible.
Sigmund Freud 's consulting room in Vienna was the scene of an even greater challenge to Christian orthodoxy. Freud applied Darwin's ideas to the human mind and came to see all religious experience as a neurotic delusion.
But his most influential pupil disagreed. Carl Jung spent a lifetime exploring the experience of God as a power in the depths of the psyche. Assistant producer PETER DALE Produced and directed by PETER ARMSTRONG (R)

Presented by Russell Davies

Opera: Peter Stein is one of European theatre's most exciting and influential directors. This week he makes his British debut with the Welsh National Opera's production of Verdi's Otello. The production is conducted by Richard Armstrong and the singers include Helen Field and Geoffrey Lawton.

Art: Scottie Wilson's art was collected by Picasso, although his bizarre paintings are little known now. George Melly introduces a selection of his work at the Third Eye Centre in Glasgow.

Culture: Jack Lang has been France's Minister of Culture since 1981. As the Mitterand administration attempts to retain power in next month's general election, Lang explains why the arts are so important to the French people - and their politicians.

Theatre: The Saxon Shore is a new play by David Rudkin set around Hadrian's Wall at a time when the Roman Empire was under constant threat. Does Rudkin see that situation as having lessons for the present?
