Whose Bible Is It?

Historian and Bible scholar Jaroslaw Pelikan was sitting in Carnegie Hall 15 years ago listening to Handel's Messiah, when he read a headline in the program notes that asked "Whose Bible Is It?"

In his new book, "Whose Bible Is It? A History of The Scriptures Through the Ages," Pelikan takes a fresh look at the complex origin, the translations, and the many interpretations of the Bible.

Hear a conversation with Pelikan about the history, evolution and ownership of the Bible.
