What texts do you think are sacred to Americans?
Our guest today at 11:20 is Stephen Prothero, a religious scholar and the author of 'The American Bible.' This new book is an examination of the texts that have inspired Americans and make up a canon for our nation.
Prothero includes the Gettysburg Address, 'Huckleberry Finn,' and the 'Autobiography of Malcolm X' amongst others.
What texts would you include?
Here's President Eisenhower's farewell address, which Prothero includes in his "American Bible."
