For more than two thousand years, the Bible has been an essential part of the world's conception of humanity and its relationship to God. But although it is in some sense timeless and eternal - literally the word of God - the Bible has always meant different things to different people, as individual communities have regarded this sacred book through their own language and culture. In this episode, Jacke talks to Biblical scholar Bruce Gordon about his new book The Bible: A Global History, which tells the story of how the Bible has shaped - and been shaped by - changing beliefs and believers' radically different needs. PLUS University of London's Professor Emerita of Medieval Manuscript Studies Michelle P. Brown (Bede and the Theory of Everything) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.
