Podcast with Bunni Pounds on Reading Through the Bible to Celebrate America at 250
Topic: “America Reads the Bible”
The Bible played a key role in helping to shape America. For example, Os Guinness observes that the Biblical concept of covenant gave rise to the American Constitution. President Andrew Jackson once said that the Bible is “the rock upon which our republic was founded.” Christians Engaged, out of Texas, writes about an event for April 2026 to celebrate America’s 250th birthday by the public reading of the Scriptures. This event to take place in late April 2026 at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., is called America Reads the Bible Christians Engaged anticipates that this may well be “the largest ever read-through-the Bible event in our nation’s history.” Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged, joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss this event and why the Bible is important to America. www.americareadsthebible.com
