Episode description
The Ten Commandments is one of the most well-known pieces of scripture. It may also embody everything wrong with how we read these texts today.
Karen Armstrong joins us to talk about her new book, The Art of Scripture, and why there should be more to read more creatively beyond literalism.

Plus: Sameer Rahim and Tom Clark on our modern-day scriptures, and the function of the shibboleth.
