About this listen

David Suchet sets out to establish what connects three of the world's major religions - and critically what divides them - as he travels the world on a personal pilgrimage of discovery.

Judaism, Islam and Christianity share far more in common than the abhorrent acts of extremists would ever suggest. When the roots of the three Abrahamic faiths are shared, why is it that they foster dissent, intolerance and disagreement? What unites them and what divides them? Is God a warmonger or a peacemaker? Why do some believers commit violence in God's name?

With the help of experts and former extremists, David sets out to answer these and many other questions.

From Jerusalem and London to New York and Northern Ireland, David investigates the motivations and twisted justifications behind religious terrorism. He reveals stories from inside high security jails and the minds of fanatics. He meets with leading scholars, survivors of extremism, reformed hate preachers and a whole host of contributors who might be able to help him get to the truth of why so much evil is justified in the name of God.

This is the story of how religion impacts society on many fundamental levels and sets humanity against itself.

  • Ep. 3: Turn the Other Cheek
    Mar 2 2018
    David Suchet traces the Christian journey from persecution to power. For him, it's personal. He converted to Christianity and wants to know why Christ's message of peace and goodwill resulted in the most powerful religion on Earth, an Empire built on the suppression of local people and a succession of holy wars.

because David is travelling though Israel, Jerusalem, i found myself wishing it had film. he has a fantastic narrators voice though and describes his surroundings for us over the busy traffic noise. covers the three Abrahami religions as a personal exploration because David has both Jewish and Christian heritage.

interesting, wish it had pictures

I would have happily paid for this, it's great. David Suchet approaches the subject and people with an open mind, and I learned a lot about all three Abrahamic faiths. You don't have to be religious to get something out of this, it's about the story of humankind and how (hopefully) we can one day live in peace. As others have pointed out he is also a fantastic narrator.

Fantastic, fascinating and informative

I really want to give this 5 stars, as David and all his guests were excellent, open, and evocative.

I cried more than once.

In a world of agendas and media bias, it was the ideal platform and time to give the lesser heard people involved in 9/11, the Irish Troubles and Israel a voice.

My only two suggestions are: an episode near the start to explain the history of the sectarian and religious divides explored in the series, so I could recommend it to people looking for a good starting place to educate themselves.

And: an episode nearer the end that goes more into depth on the domestic and foreign atrocities done in the name of false gods, as I feel this would really set up the heartwarming and optimistic final 2 episodes.

All that said, I loved the series and would like to hear more podcasts in a philosophical or political vein from the team involved.

A conflicted review....
