July 13, 2023
Alastair Roberts
John Dyer is the author of the recently published 'People of the Screen: How Evangelicals Created the Digital Bible and How It Shapes Their Reading of Scripture' (https://amzn.to/44Mu1Z3). He joins me to discuss the book and the way that digital Bibles are changing the ways that we engage with Scripture.
