Common Tongue Theology

Religion & Spirituality Podcas

Common Tongue Theology is a layman's attempt to come to grips with the form and substance of The Bible from a former atheist and his agnostic wife. Plain speech and casual discussion prevail in an honest and open attempt to get down to brass tacks about what we do and don't know about scripture and what it means to us.
