DJ JEFF’S SPINTASM DU JOUR: Nitin Sawhney & Natty, “Days of Fire”

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

GODSTUFF: ‘Tis the season…for re-evaluating the Bible, apparently.

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Each year, publishers roll out dozens of new religiously themed books in the months and weeks leading up to Easter.

Whether you are interested in learning more about the Bible’s origins, dismissing its veracity, or simply considering alternate views on how it can be understood, this season’s offerings will not disappoint.
