Soul Search Folgen

You've probably heard of Mary Magdalene and her reputation as a prostitute, or the love interest of Jesus. But who was she actually? And how do the Gospels treat other women involved in Jesus' ministry? We also go digging into the past of Chinese Confucianism. What made him so influential, and why has this ancient figure made a recent return in modern China?

From the sacred sounds of the Silk Road to alternative Christian rock in Seattle — on Soul Search today, we hear from musicians who perform their faith in public ways. Featuring the Sydney World Music Chamber Orchestra, and US indie-rock band King's Kaleidoscope.

What kind of education makes for a better world? Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel grappled with this question all his life, as we find out from his former student, Rabbi Ariel Burger. And, we hear from Dr Paul Burgis, a principal of a faith-based school in Sydney, on what he thinks religion can add to education.
