Hard Questions for Hard Times

This is a time which raises hard questions – about how we live, about our values, about suffering, and about God. We asked people what was most on their minds, and then we asked a wide range of leading Christian writers, thinkers and theologians to reflect on these ‘hard questions’. Their reflections are full of wisdom, challenge and hope and over 35,000 people have watched them. Catch up with all of them via the menu on the left.

And do browse through our extensive resource of films and podcasts of previous events here. Films include Paula Gooder talking about the Body and Christianity, Michael Curry on The Jesus Movement Now, and Rowan Williams on Jesus Christ: the Unanswered Questions. Our most popular film is David Suchet’s electric reading of the whole of the Gospel of Mark live at St Paul’s in 2017.
