'Reparations: Slavery and the Tyranny of Imaginary Guilty'

Lord Biggar of Castle Douglas, Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence, Pusey House & sometime Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, University of Oxford

Faith in Public Life Talk

'Guilt as a response to personal wrongdoing is healthy. But false guilt is not. ... Today we are again succumbing to a fresh and more general bout of false guilt about our colonial past, which is misshaping the policies of our governments and cultural institutions and weakening our international standing.' — Lord Biggar, Reparations: The Tyranny of Imaginary Guilt.


Lord Biggar will speak about his latest book, why he chose to write it, what its argument is, how it builds on his previous book, Colonial: A Moral Reckoning, and what impact he hopes it will have.
