  • Summary

  • 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.
