Listen "The World’s Most Popular Book"
Episode Synopsis
Getting inside the Bible, the most published book of all time. The Bible is the most published book of all time, and not just historically. It continues to be the case today. In fact, in 2024 Bible sales were up by 22%.In Western Countries the Bible is easily accessible but increasingly there are people who have very little contact with or understanding of the Bible.So what even is the Bible? How was it put together? What kind of influence has it had on our lives, even if we are not Bible readers ourselves?Life & Faith delves into these questions in a suitably epic episode. We speak to an academic about the cultural influence of the Bible, and a New Testament lecturer about how the Bible came together. We talk to the Australian representative of the biggest Bible app in the world about to celebrate their billionth download. And we hear from two people whose lives have been changed by reading the Bible.What do we know about “The biggest story ever told” and what does this story still have to tell us?Explore:The Great bible SwindleYouVersion and the One Billionth Download
