Deacons Pod: Reading the Bible Responsibly in a Polarized World – Thomas Bolin

August 11, 2026

How should Christians respond when Scripture verses are used as tools (and as weapons) in political debates?

That question is raised in this episode of Deacons Pod featuring Thomas Bolin, author of the Liturgical Press book “An Inspired Word in Season: Reading the Bible Responsibly in a Polarized World,” which received a first-place honor in the Catholic Media Association’s 2026 Book Awards in the “Religion in the Public Square” category.

Dr. Bolin joins Deacon Mark Asselin and Deacon Patrick Ouellette (both of whom are Paulist Deacon Affiliates) for this timely conversation.
