God Is in the World, Not Just the Bible - Dr. Nigel Biggar

Dr. Nigel Biggar argues for a theological method in which both Scripture and human experience provide knowledge. He joins King Laugh and I for a hearty discussion.
In his recent book Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning and in previous books like In Defence of War, Dr. Biggar’s biblical and theological erudition has been matched by his philosophical rigor - and especially by his knowledge of history. Doing work that not even historians dare to do, Dr. Biggar has brought moral wisdom, especially from the Christian tradition, to bear on contemporary debates.
At the same time, Dr. Biggar's engagement with history and empirical observation of the human condition has brought experience to bear on Christian theology. We discuss the consequences of Bible-only theology and the need to advert to empirical sources. The legacy of colonialism is considered, and the need to avoid ideological thinking both of the secular progressive type and the insular Christian kind.
Dr. Biggar is Emeritus Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford. He is the author of many books, including In Defence of War, Behaving in Public: How to Do Christian Ethics, and What’s Wrong with Rights?
