Hello and

I'm Francis Foster I'm Constantine Kishin.

And this is a show for you if you want honest conversations with fascinating people.

Our brilliant and fantastic guest today is the Regis Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology.

Nigel Bigger, welcome to trigonometry.

Thanks very much.

It's so great to have you.

We're here at Oxford University.

It's a pleasure to be here and speaking with you,

which is of course where you work.

Before we get into a very interesting background and story just tell everybody a little bit about who are you, how are you where you are, what has been your journey through life that leads you to this very strange place sitting in this chair on YouTube.

Okay, well I wasn't born in Oxford, I was born in Scotland,

but my Scottish accent got drained from me

when I came south to school at the age of 13,

except when I'm slightly drunk or when I'm in the pulpit I can get quite Scottish

Otherwise otherwise not so I've I've developed an academic career I've spent about seven years in Canada in the States

Collected my wife there brought her back about 30 years ago and have taught here in Oxford in Leeds in Dublin and then for the last 11 years have taught back here in Oxford.

And my field, I have this rather bizarre title professor of moral and pastoral theology.

What's that? Basically it's ethics, but it's ethics done from a religious Christian point of view.
