HeyJaredUndeceptions with John Dickson
Every week on Undeceptions we’ll explore some aspect of life, faith, history, culture, or ethics that is either much misunderstood or mostly forgotten. With the help of people who know what they’re talking about, we’ll be trying to ‘undeceive ourselves’ and let the truth ‘out’.

186. Question Answer XVII (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do we do when we discover our so-called ‘Christian heroes’ did abhorrent things? What’s the difference between the soul and the spirit? Where does the idea of being a ‘missionary’ come from? Is the God of the Old Testament just a conglomeration of the gods from other cultures that came before? It’s our seasonal Q&A, and John Dickson is in the hot seat answering your questions.

185: Dis / Ability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have a troubled relationship with disability. Even the term ‘disability’ is contested. Perhaps disability is something to inspire us. Or something that calls for our compassion. Or simply something to accept and let be. How should we think about disability? Should we be trying to cure it? And what about disability in Heaven?

Read excerpt
Christianity has a bit to say about ‘forgiveness’, both on a theological and a sociological level.

John Lennox is one of Christianity’s greatest living “Undeceivers”.

182. Tough Texts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Bible is full of tough texts that can be off-putting to the curious sceptic. But at its best, Christianity stands smiling in the ring of history, science, culture, ethics, and all the rest, and invites anyone to take a swing. Don’t let these tough texts put you off; treat them as an entry point to the Bible and, just maybe, you’ll be surprised by what else you find.
