  • 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.

interesting, wish it had pictures

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.

Fantastic, fascinating and informative

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.

Absorbing and very well-informed

I've just finished listening - "binge-listening", really - to this. I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio-series these days, including a good number of other Audible Shows, and this is one of the very best (in a very high-quality field).

As someone who works in the sociology of religion, and who has taken students on fieldtrips to Jerusalem, I can testify to this being an extremely nuanced and well-informed exploration of an important and fascinating topic.

More to the point though, it's just an excellent piece of audio. Suchet is excellent, naturally. And it's beautifully produced.

Series 2 please, Audible!

From all sides.

As David Suchet is a Christian with a Christian mother and Jewish father he looks with insight into the 3 Abramic faiths. With comments from members of all 3 faiths against the background noise of a busy Jerusalem as well as a wealth of historical detail, it makes a thought provoking, enjoyable and interesting series. It uncovers many misconceptions of all 3 faiths that have caused so much division and heartbreak. I can heartily recommend it and David's velvet voice is the cherry on the cake!
