William Claspy and Florence Harness Professor of Religion Timothy Beal discuss the book 'Biblical Literacy: The Essential Bible Stories Everyone Needs to Know' (HarperOne, c2009). Professor Beal is a prolific author and scholar, with ten books and many articles published on the cultural history of the Bible, religion and popular culture. The sub-sub title of the book is "The best bits without all the boring bits" which describes it quite clearly. Bill Claspy and Tim Beal talk about how the book came about, along with Beal's fascination with the binding of Isaac and the book of Job, and mermaids.
