This week Pip interviews Gilbert Markus, theologian and author of the book "God as Nothing" where he examines, through a lens of the Medieval Saint Thomas Aquinas, the idea of God as separate from the world, ie "not a thing".
This week NT Wright (Bishop and Biblical scholar) and Francis Collins (DNA double-helix discoverer) sing a duet about Genesis and creation.
Lesley and Pip tackle Genesis, creationism and where the bible sits with science.
Lesley's slightly quirky pick for a song to listen to this week, and she's chosen Jacob Collier with a special guest at the O2.
As Pip is on his holidays, Lesley interviews Emma Herd, the new Curate here in the borders. They talk about the process from feeling a calling to the priesthood, through the discernment process, and training and beyond. And Emma successfully answers the age old question of "Which dog is best".
