Controversial actor, comedian and podcaster Russell Brand recently revealed to
his followers that he is reading the Bible, C.S. Lewis’ “The Problem of Pain,”
and Lao Tzu’s “Tao Te Ching.” 

Brand, who was recently accused of sexual assault by multiple women, has over
6.7 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, where he has interviewed people
including Richard Dawkins, Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson. 



“I am that person who has more than one book on the go!” Brand said in posts on
his social media last week that included a picture of the three aforementioned
books. “How about you?”

Russell Brand is a stand-up comedian, actor and former radio host who now hosts
several podcasts, including one focused on spirituality and meditation. He
appeared in the films “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Rock of Ages” and voiced
characters in “Despicable Me,” “Despicable Me 2,” and “Trolls.” Brand has been
accused of spreading conspiracy theories.

In September, The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches revealed the
results of a joint investigation in which five women came forward with
allegations against Brand that included sexual assault and rape, as well as
“physical and emotional abuse, sexual harassment and bullying.” These incidents
allegedly took place between 2006 and 2013. [Editor’s note: The following link
contains information some may find disturbing and potentially triggering].

“Over the past few years, reporters have interviewed hundreds of sources who
knew or worked with Brand,” said The Times, adding:

Along with these interviews reporters have seen private emails and text
messages, submitted freedom of information requests, viewed medical and
therapists’ notes, scrutinised Brand’s books and interviews, and watched and
listened to hundreds of hours of his shows on the BBC, Channel 4 and YouTube to
corroborate allegations.

Brand has denied the charges, saying, “Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather
baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.”
Noting that he was “very, very promiscuous” during that time period, Brand said
his relationships were nevertheless “always consensual.” 



Describing himself as very “transparent” about his behavior, Brand added, “To
see that transparency metastasised into something criminal, that I absolutely
deny, makes me question: is there another agenda at play?”

The actor is believed to have been questioned by police a second time on Dec. 14
“in relation to a further six, non-recent, sexual offences.”


RUSSELL BRAND’S RECENT READING

Many of Russell Brand’s followers responded with enthusiasm to the news that he
is reading the Bible and a book by C.S. Lewis. While some might see Lao Tzu’s
book as unrelated to the other two, Lewis notably addressed his understanding of
“the Tao” in his work, “The Abolition of Man.”

One person on Facebook commented:

I love C. S. Lewis. I’m reading through the Bible now along with The Bible Recap
Podcast! I just finished Exodus. It’s started over yearly, but you can start
anytime of the year. I read through it once several years ago on my own and at
the end was in tears. So overwhelmed by how much we our loved. We spend our
whole lives running away and He our whole lives pursuing us.

“I’ve been reading the Bible for the past 20 years. I always find new gems in
there that speak to my soul. I always learn new things that help me to navigate
life with peace and certainty,” said another. “I always find healing wisdom to
ease my pain and discover all the hope I need to face the unknown of tomorrow. I
plan to never ever ‘finish’ reading the Bible.”
