About this Episode

We're honored to learn from Dr. Amy-Jill Levine and Dr. Marc Zvi Brettler in this week's podcast about their latest book "The Bible With and Without Jesus: How Jews and Christians Read the Same Stories Differently."

Dr. Amy-Jill Levine and Dr. Marc Brettler talk with us about the importance of empathy and growing in awareness for the different biases and filters we all use when reading the Bible (even when we try to be objective). They also share with us about the importance of learning how different religious traditions interpret their Bibles -- and why we all need to become more familiar with each other’s perspectives. Dr. Levine also talks with us about how the Bible isn’t just a dialogue to engage in -- but a trialogue.
