What if the money you give to charity could save far more lives simply by being spent differently?
With household budgets under pressure, is giving away 10% of your income a moral obligation or an unreasonable demand?
John Nelson is joined by Princeton philosopher Matthew Adelstein and JD Bauman, co-author of All the Lives You Can Change, to explore effective altruism, a movement committed to using evidence to do the most good.
They tackle whether Jesus would endorse effective altruism, whether saving souls should take priority over saving lives, and why Matthew believes insect suffering may outweigh human suffering.
An extraordinary conversation about money, morality, faith and what we owe to people we've never met.
