It’s also had an immeasurable impact on the world, for better and for worse.<br> <br> In 2017, the Bible is getting its own museum. The Museum of the Bible is due to open in the middle of Washington DC, just a few blocks from the US Capitol and the Smithsonian, with a collection of more than 40,000 objects.<br> <br> What is the museum for? What will be in it? Why is it a good idea? Who should visit it and why? In this episode of Life &amp; Faith, Simon Smart and Natasha Moore interview two of the key players in this process: Allen Quine, Vice President of International Relations for the Museum of the Bible, and David Trobisch, director of the collections, to get an idea of what the Museum of the Bible will look like. <br>
