from Talking Theology · host Cranmer Hall, Durham

 How has the relationship between the British Army and Christianity changed over the past 70 years? What role has the Christian "just war" tradition played in shaping how the British Army approached and conducted recent armed conflicts? And is the partial resistance of the army to the secularisation of wider society simply because 'there are no atheists in foxholes'?In this episode Revd Dr Nick Moore, Warden of Cranmer Hall, speaks to Professor Mike Snape, Michael Ramsey Professor of Anglican Studies at Durham University about his new book Embattled Belief: Religion and the British Army from Korea to Afghanistan, published in May 2026.
