Episode 2: Alex O’Connor & Glen Scrivener - Did Christianity give us our morality? Debating freedom, slavery, equality and the Bible

About this episode

Uncommon Ground is the show where conversations really matter.
Atheist thinker Alex O'Connor goes toe-to-toe with Christian thinker Glen Scrivener on whether Christianity gave us our belief in kindness, equality, freedom and consent.
Across 2.5 hours of intense conversation moderated by Justin Brierley, they debate whether or not hospitals, welfare, charity, emancipation, gender equality, human rights and consent hinge on Christian influence.
