• The Case AGAINST Slavery Reparations with Nigel Biggar

  The Church of England's Church Commissioners are ear-marking £100million (or is it £1billion?) for slavery reparations. Emeritus Professor of Moral Theology and Member of the House of Lords, Nigel Biggar says that this idea is ethically dubious and amounts to thinly-veiled self-flagellation in an effort to appear relevant to a post-Christian society in the face of the Church's dwindling numbers and influence. CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with Lord Biggar about his new book and related issues:The shady world of the Church of England's Project Spire: its methodology, processes and rationale for reparations.Historical arguments for and against reparations by the Church of England.The wider context of the ethical debate around reparations including the ubiquity of slavery, British abolitionism and the suppression of slavery, and the "riotous jungle of history".Why arguments for reparations are based on a lack of understanding of, and sympathy for, our forbears.What is the relationship of Woke orthodoxy to Christianity.The Early Church and slavery.The legality (or not) of reparations.Hopes for the new book and the future Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, vis-a-vis this issue.Find Lord Biggar's Substack 'The Biggar Picture': https://www.nigelbiggar.co.ukYou make this podcast possible.
