What is our relationship to the Bible as an object?

What does it mean for us when the Bible is used as a means of control?

Does the Bible become an "accessory" to crimes of violence or exclusion?

How do we read the Scriptures in ways that heal rather than harm?

These are just some of the questions tackled in this special episode of Deacons Pod in which the Paulist Deacon Affiliates interview our own Dr. David Dault, our technical producer and editor, about his thought-provoking new book "The Accessorized Bible" from Yale University Press.

David is an associate professor of Christian Spirituality at the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago.

In addition to his work on Deacons Pod, he assists with the creation of multiple podcasts and is one of the hosts of "The Francis Effect."
