The World’s Most Popular Book

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%.

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.
