We tackle the controversial topic of the morality of colonialism with Anglican priest, theologian, and ethicist Nigel Biggar. Nigel is the Regius Professor Emeritus of Moral Theology at the University of Oxford, and Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Pusey House, Oxford. Throughout this discussion, we trace the trajectory of the British Empire from its inception through imperialism and colonialism, and its influence across Ireland, North America, India, and Africa. As we compare the British Empire with Nazi Germany, we grapple with questions of ethics, genocide, and the role of private interest groups like the East India Company.
