Ben and Adam are joined by Jonty, Laura and Malky of Beer Christianity and Shibboleth Magazine to talk about their most recent issue. Together they chat about the holiness of grief and what that means in terms of hope, justice, violence, nationalism, and a Christianity that seems to justify all of the above.

Along the way they get into cultural Christianity and why politicians are so keen to invoke a faith they clearly neither understand nor believe, the limits of trying to fix everything, and what people are (and, in some cases, are not) drinking.

Ben and Adam also recently appeared on Beer Christianity. You can find that episode here.

Is hell real? What is it? Who goes there? That's right folks, it's getting hot in here, but don't take off all your clothes or you'll go to hell. Instead, join Ben and Adam as they chat with Llama Pack pastor, the Word in Black and Red host, and slander victim, Micah "the wise old llama enby" Belong about why hell might be closer than we think.

Ben and Adam are joined by Matt Bernico and Dean Dettloff, hosts of The Magnificast and authors of the new book Enough is Enough: Degrowth, Capitalism and Liberation Theology. They talk about how capitalism's obsession with endless growth is destroying people and planet, and ask what what resources Christian traditions like liberation theology may have for imagining something better.

Enough is Enough is available at all good bookshops and some bad ones. Matt and Dean encourage you to ask your local independent bookshop to get it in for you.

The Magnificast is available wherever podcasts exist.

Ben and Adam look at a few figures who did some cool stuff, but didn’t quite make it onto the Saint of the Week list, and debate whether this week's Saint of the Week, Jesse Jackson, should be struck off before he's even arrived! They also talk about the difference between liberal identity politics and leftist intersectionality.

This week Bread and Rosaries takes a trip to Scotland to chat with student minister and PhD candidate, William Gibson, about Red Clydeside: the strikes, rent protests, anti-war organising, and radical politics of Glasgow in the early twentieth century. We also look at the Church of Scotland’s uneasy relationship with working-class struggle, social reconstruction, and capitalism itself, including why so much of the church’s witness seemed to drift away from the politics of justice it once claimed to care about. Along the way, Adam reflects on the life and death of anarchist YPJ volunteer, Anna Campbell, and William introduces us to socialist and peace activist Helen Crawfurd for Saint of the Week.

It’s Easter, so obviously Ben, Jonny and Adam start where every serious theological podcast should: Afro Man… in court… vibing to his own music while being unsuccessfully sued by police.

It’s broadly downhill from there, but the main theme, Ignacio Ellacuría's crucified people, is well worth hearing about.
