What makes a text sacred? Have there been gender biases in the translations of sacred texts? Why are the newly-discovered gospels of Thomas, Philip, Judas, and Mary Magdalene so important?

Hosted by author Phil Cousineau, Inside Sacred Texts explores the origins, translations, and interpretations of sacred or revered texts, and sheds light on the mystical experience these texts often originate from. This unique program brings knowledgeable, engaging scholars, translators, and practitioners (Willis Barnstone, Cynthia Bourgeault, and Ken McLeod) from three faiths together to explore how these seminal texts, which form the foundation of most world religions and have influenced entire civilizations are, in some cases, now being reappraised.
