#85: The art of scripture, with Karen Armstrong

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.
