The really controversial message of the Life of Brian is not what we think it is. Can we talk about the gospel that Brian actually preaches, which seems to be gospel the Pythons believed. How as that stood the test of time?In this episode, James Cary talks to evangelist, author and YouTuber, Glen Scrivener, one of the few men who can quote Life of Brian, Douglas Adams and Aquinas in the same breath. It turns out that Life of Brian comes from the same era as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Terry Pratchett gets dragged into the discussion and before long, we’re wondering what mankind even is. And whether we’ve been living in a blip. Glen also reveals how Jimmy Carr owes it all to him. Divine Comedy - Human Tragedy: What is life?James wrote about watching the Life of Brian with his kids here:Christian Smith on Aaron Renn’s podcast talking about the collapse of trust in mainstream religion in the 1990s here.Get in touch via text and tell me what you like about the showFind out about my touring show, God the Bible and Everything (in 60 minutes) and get in touch via my website.
