Can we build a godless, flourishing society? Alex Gabriel & Rich Park

from Unbelievable? · host Justin Brierley

Alex Gabriel is an atheist and Rich Park is a Christian. They enjoyed lengthy conversations in the pub while they were students at Oxford University. In this edition of the show we swap the pub for the studio and address the question of whether it’s possible to build a flourishing society in the absence of a Christian or theistic framework. Who determines what flourishing means? And why should we aim for that anyway?
