Veteran Newsweek reporter and religion writer Kenneth Briggs conducted two years of research on how and why the Bible has disappeared from public life and discourse, interviewing televangelists, booksellers, members of the Society of Biblical Literature, and everyday people at their kitchen tables. The Invisible Bestseller: Searching for the Bible in America is the result, offering readers insight on the Bible's current position in American public life and suggestions as to where it may be headed next.
