John McCarthy's Bible Journey

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

John McCarthy presents a new six-part series.
Thirteen years ago, in a Beirutcell, he was given a Bible by his Muslim captors. He read it cover to cover- twice finding it comforting, irritating, encouraging and frustrating. Eight years after his release, he returns to the Middle East at the start of an epic journey, tryingto make sense of this strange and challenging book. 1: In the BeginningProducer Roger Childs
