Graham Tomlin is the Director of the Centre For Cultural Witness, and Editor in Chief of Seen & Unseen. As the former bishop of Kensington he has been involved in theological education and cultural engagement for several years. His latest book is Blaise Pascal: The man who made the modern world.

Justin, Belle and Graham explore the life and legacy of Pascal, a polymath who, in a relatively short lifetime, made huge contributions not only to science, mathematics, technology and culture but also offered arguments for Christianity that are still widely discussed today.
