ASK is a project of Evangelism and New Churches of the Sydney Anglican diocese. David Robertson is the director of the project and host of the podcast. The purpose of the podcast is the same as the project - in the words of Jesus - Ask, Seek and Knock. We encourage people to ask questions and discuss. We desire to share the truth, beauty, love and life of Jesus Christ. We know that people have lots of questions. We don‘t pretend to have all the answers but we do think that having conversations with all different kinds of people will help in our search for truth. Everyone - of whatever background, opinion or view....is welcome. Enjoy....and please feel free to pass on any questions, suggestions and comments.

This week Greg and I discuss the role of Christ and Christianity in popular culture. We look at specific examples as well as the general idea. Gilead - 'the greatest Christian novel of the 20th Century); Graham Greene; Willa Cather 'Death Comes to the Archbishop'; Bach; Terence Malik; Ross Douhart; How Green was my Valley; Leonard Cohen; It's a Wonderful Life; Noah's Ark and Russel Crowe; Tolkien biopic; Jane the Virgin; The Chosen; It's a Beautiful day in the Neighbourhood; the dullness of progressive ideology in the arts; why culture needs Christianity. If you get half as much enjoyment and stimulation out of this,as I did - then you will be blessed.
