This book has sold more copies, been translated into more languages and is found in more hotel rooms than any other literary work in history.  (Take that, Dickens!)  But how many of us have actually read it?  Or really thought about the stories, characters and parables inside or outside of a religious context?  Kathleen speaks with Dr. Jeffrey Geoghegan, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at Boston College whose professional mission is to make the Bible meaningful and understandable for everyone, regardless of religious affiliation.

If you've ever wondered how the Bible influences everything from art to literature to legislation, this is your chance to learn more. Dr. Geoghegan cuts the controversy and shares everything from the Bible's historical context and juiciest stories to how it continues to shape our society today.
