Earlier this year I spent some time in Geneva, and wrote up a number of blogs on Calvinism as a result. All this was in the service of a 45 minute feature for Radio Three, which was broadcast on Sunday evening. But it's not too late to hear it – the whole thing is available on the iplayer for another four days, and cunning or wicked people can even turn it into an mp3 for delectation at other times.
I have to say I am pretty happy with the result. There are some very good contributors indeed: in particular Diarmaid MacCulloch and Marilynne Robinson, with whom I did what I consider the best piece of radio interviewing I have ever done. If it were television, you would be stunned by the range of backdrops, with the interviewer moving fearlessly from Geneva to exotic Edinburgh – but it isn't, so you can actually hear the ideas.
As to whether Calvin was a good thing or a bad one: you will just have to listen to find out. The link you want, just to repeat, is here.
