How Our Words Unite, Divide, and Define a Nation

Hour 1:           What are the hallowed documents, speeches, literature, songs, and letters of America and how do they characterize our country? We’ll talk this hour with Stephen Prothero, Boston University Professor of Religion and senior fellow at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. He’s collected and examined the crucial texts of our country’s history in his new book “The American Bible: How Our Words Unite, Divide, and Define a Nation” (HarperOne, 2012).
