Is Christianity Making a Comeback? Andy Bannister on Faith, Islam and AI

from Unbelievable?

In this wide-ranging episode of Unbelievable? The Interview, host Luke Martin speaks with Christian apologist, author and Islam specialist Dr Andy Bannister about the big questions shaping our cultural moment. Andy reflects on the renewed curiosity about Christianity among young people, why questions of meaning and beauty may now be more compelling than classic debates about God’s existence, and how Christians can speak into a culture marked by anxiety and uncertainty. He also explores the growth of Islam in the UK, religious freedom and free speech, and how Christians should respond with both clarity and compassion. Finally, Luke and Andy turn to artificial intelligence, asking what AI reveals about consciousness, the soul, human uniqueness and what it means to be made in the image of God.
