Revd Professor Andrew Davison is Regius Professor of Divinity at The University of Oxford.
Andrew has both a scientific and theological background and has frequently worked on the intersection of science and faith, as well as writing on ‘participation’ and the ’sacramental theology' of blessing in books such as ‘Participation In God’ and ‘Blessing’.
Andrew says we need to rethink separating things into the categories of ‘natural' and ‘supernatural’ - enchantment is part and parcel of the way the world is and the way we engage it.
So today Justin and Belle are going to attempt to to re-enchant… reality.
