He is a true gentleman, an inspiring Christian, and a penetrating interpreter\u00a0of the Bible. He is, at heart, a Reformer, in the <a title=\"The Radical Reformation by George Huntston Williams\" href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/trinities-20\/detail\/0943549833\" target=\"_blank\">Radical<\/a> mode. Stubborn but humble, he&#8217;s one of a long line of Christians since the Reformation who&#8217;ve discovered that the\u00a0Bible\u00a0teaches the one God to be none other than the Father. Like me, he&#8217;s a <strong>biblical unitarian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here I talk with Sir Anthony <strong>about his spiritual journey<\/strong>, from the Church of England, to the <a title=\"Herbert W.
