Dear all

Can I commend to you this series of short radio programmes on the bible by Prof. John Barton?

It is an excellent introduction/refresher on how we receive these texts as christians today.

A History of the Bible by John Barton

Hugh Bonneville reads John Barton’s story of the Bible and of how the two faiths that hold it sacred have shaped it and been shaped by it.

The 5 programmes, all 14 minutes long, are available on BBC Sounds for the next 17 days.

All the best

Rev'd Stephen
