Radio 4 series arrives at Premier Christian Radio

The show, which was presented by the late BBC religious affairs correspondent Gerald Priestland, originally aired in 1981.

Priestland had no qualifications in theology, but was driven by an intense curiosity about religion and wanted to create the 'plain man's guide to the Christian faith'.

The series takes him on a journey to examine the nature of Christianity and Christian beliefs.

He interviewed more than 100 people during the making of Priestland's Progress and the programmes cover a broad spectrum of topics including who Jesus was, the nature of sin, the relationship of Christianity with other faiths, what happens after death, and what religion, prayer and worship are all about.

Peter Kerridge, Premier's CEO, said: 'We are delighted to revive this landmark series on Premier Christian Radio for a new generation of listeners.

'Gerald Priestland was a giant of a man and a highly gifted broadcaster who had the knack of presenting complicated thoughts in an easy-to-understand way.

'Priestland's Progress is a fantastic series of programmes and we hope our audience will respond and react through social media in the same way the 1980s audience bombarded the BBC with letters.'

The series will broadcast on Premier Christian Radio over a period of 13 weeks, beginning on Saturday, 4th October at 1pm.
