Greg Sheridan | Christianity: Evidence and Relevance

In this Direct interview, John is joined by Greg Sheridan, widely-respected foreign editor for The Australian. They discuss the Christian foundations of Western civilisation and the profound importance of religion at a societal, cultural and individual level. They delve into the deep rationality that often undergirds Christian faith, and question the capacity of atheistic philosophies to truly nourish the human soul. Greg Sheridan is one of Australia's most influential national security commentators, who is active across print media, television and radio and also writes extensively on culture. He has written eight books. His latest, Christians: The Urgent Case for Jesus in Our World is a compelling argument for the modern relevance and importance of the New Testament. As foreign editor of The Australian, he specialises in Asia. He has interviewed Presidents and Prime Ministers across the world. #Jesus #Atheism #Hope -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 00:11 Introducing Greg Sheridan 01:04 Why did you write 'Christians'? 05:15 On writing about Christianity 11:18 Were the Gospels made up? 17:59 Unique & radical claims 23:05 Secularism & atheism 29:25 Is Christianity a societal good? 34:17 Is Christianity a personal good? 39:02 Angels, demons & mythology 44:52 Christianity and public policy 53:34 Communism and Christianity 1:00:00 Communism as a religion 1:03:42 Christianity - the antidote to Chinese militarism 1:05:03 Conclusion -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.
