Who is God, and how can we find out?

While the concept of God is often compelling, it is difficult to take the step into belief. In this episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi speaks with Dominican sister and theologian Sr Hyacinthe Defos Du Rau OP about the heart of Catholic belief: not just that God exists, but what kind of God He is - and how we can know anything about Him at all.

If you've ever found yourself asking, like Jordan Peterson, "What does 'belief' or 'God' mean?"- this conversation is for you. Sr Hyacinthe explains how the Catholic tradition brings together reason, experience, and revelation; why we can know that humans are fundamentally good; and why we can't fully comprehend God with intellect alone.

Discover why belief in God isn't irrational, but a reasonable conclusion.

What does the Bible really say about power, politics, and peace in our divided world?

In this compelling episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi sits down with one of the most influential New Testament scholars of our time - Professor N.T. Wright - for a wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation on faith, culture, and scripture.

London, this dialogue moves beyond stereotypes and easy answers to explore how Christians - Catholics and Protestants alike - might faithfully respond to the "powers and principalities" at work in the modern world.

The conversation explores:

* The spiritual forces behind our political and cultural crises

* What St Paul teaches us about empires, identity, and resistance

* Whether "wokeism" is a Christian heresy or a call for justice gone awry

* Christian nationalism, post-liberalism, and the danger of distorting the Gospel

* Why the Church must be a "working model of new creation"

* How listening - truly listening - can open hearts to the Gospel

Drawing from his latest book "Jesus and the Powers", Wright urges a rediscovery of biblical values - not as nostalgia, but as radical, transformative hope. With insight into scripture, early Church history, and contemporary society, this episode offers a deep yet accessible entry point for Christians seeking to engage the world without losing their soul.

Is assisted suicide really about dignity - or is there another agenda here?

In this episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi speaks to Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP about the growing push for assisted suicide and euthanasia. As a Dominican friar, bioethicist, and Archbishop of Sydney, he brings a Catholic perspective to this urgent debate, challenging the cultural shift towards normalising death on demand.

* What does true compassion look like in end-of-life care?

* How does assisted suicide undermine medical ethics and the doctor-patient relationship?

* What lessons can we learn from countries where euthanasia is already legal?

* What meaning can be found in suffering?

* What role does faith play in shaping a culture of life?

Beyond the legal and ethical concerns, Archbishop Fisher reflects on the broader societal implications: how Western secularism, declining faith, and the loss of transcendence have contributed to a culture that sees death as a solution rather than a passage to eternal life with God.

If you care about ethics, human dignity, and the sanctity of life, or if you're not sure what to think about the UK's current push for assisted suicide, this discussion is a must-watch.
