'There Would Be No America Without the Bible': The Role of Christianity in America's 250 Years

WASHINGTON — A unique event in the nation's capital is bringing together hundreds of voices for a continuous reading of the Bible—cover to cover.

Inside the Museum of the Bible, one voice at a time steps up to the podium, reading Scripture aloud before passing it on to the next participant.

The event, called "America Reads the Bible," spans an entire week and features nearly 500 readers from a wide range of backgrounds—including pastors, politicians, authors, and actors.

Participants each read for just a few minutes, but collectively they will complete every chapter and verse of the Bible.
