Unscrolled
Welcome to Unscrolled, Museum of the Bible’s podcast dedicated to exploring the most impactful book in history—the Bible. Our mission is to invite all people to engage with its transformative power. Our name reflects both the ancient practice of unrolling scripture and our goal of stopping the endless scroll to dive deeper into meaningful conversations. Hosted by Matthias Walther, chief marketing officer at the museum, we explore a range of topics with experts who have spent years studying the Bible, making it accessible and engaging for everyone. Step inside. Join the Conversation!
