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.

Filmed at the Bishop Barron Conference on the Bible in East

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.
