Why people keep bringing this up
Multiple episodes of The Ezra Klein Show bring the Bible into conversations about storytelling, moral themes, and cultural influence. In Best Of: Margaret Atwood on American Myths and Authoritarianism the discussion asks how secular perspectives explain ‘‘the stories of the Bible,’’ and in Best Of: Margaret Atwood on the Bible and the Future the focus is on the ‘‘potency and stickiness of the stories in the Bible,’’ noting their dramatic nature and themes of bad behavior.
A separate episode, Margaret Atwood on Stories, Deception and the Bible, returns to the same language about potency and stickiness and probes how those stories persist and shape thought. Across these Ezra Klein Show episodes the Bible is repeatedly cited as a durable set of narratives that hosts and guests use to examine myth, deception, and moral drama in public life.
