host: author ralph reed. we asked you what some of your favorite books are in the first one you listed was the bible. is the bible a political book retail i don't think of it that way. guest: it has instruction about civic affairs and politics and how we order our societies, but for me obviously the bible is primarily the revelation of god planning principles for humanity and the best way to know the keys to living a godly life with intimacy with him and if you believe in the new testament as i do is son jesus christ. i also think as a trained historian it's one of the most important history books that you will ever readve. .. there's no better single source than the bible. it's all there, the rise and fall of empires from, you know, the babylon to the persians, to the greeks, to the roman empire. and then finally, even if you don't shower and then finally even if you don't share- my faith, or the jewish or christian faith, i think it is one of the most important books of philosophy ever written. i mean, if y
