The Intersection Between Faith and Reason with Dr. James Orr | Angela.org

In this episode, Dr. James Orr and and Angela Courte MacKenzie discuss the intersection between faith and reason. You can't believe in one over the other, reason and faith exist in harmony. A lot of believers have a tough time with this, so hopefully you will find this episode challenging as you grow your walk with God. Remember, it's ok to ask questions about your faith.

Dr. James Orr is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. He holds a PhD from Cambridge and a BA in Classics from Balliol College, Oxford. James is the author of The Mind of God and the Works of Nature and teaches the philosophy of religion and ethics at Cambridge.

We must stop saying one religion 'above' others. I'm a Christian but everyone of gods creations and religions is to be respected and not compared. This is why we have so many wars and it has to stop, we have to evolve.
