In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast I'm joined by Catholic Answers Senior Apologist Jimmy Akin to talk about the Bible.

Where did the Bible come from? How did it get put together? What is the role of oral tradition and why are Catholic Bibles bigger?

We also dig into problems with the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scripture and how Catholics read and understand the Bible in a different way.
