In this episode Carol Newsom, Professor of Old Testament at Emory University and former President of the Society of Biblical Literature explains how she came to the idea that the Bible's truth is best perceived as 'dialogical'. Its multiple viewpoints capture diverse sides of issues better than a single system would. 
The episode builds on Newsom's 1996 article “Bakhtin, the Bible and Dialogic Truth.” Journal of Religion 76 (1996):290-306.
