Episode one the Bible that wasn’t a Bible

Episode 1 — The Bible That Wasn’t a Bible The premiere of Missing Pages plunges listeners into the unsettling history of the 1807 Slave Bible—a version of scripture deliberately edited to control, pacify, and reshape the beliefs of enslaved people. More than 80% of the Old Testament and nearly half of the New Testament were removed, including every passage that spoke of freedom, liberation, or resistance. Through atmospheric sound design and investigative storytelling, the episode exposes how a sacred text was weaponized, how entire narratives were erased, and how the absence of those missing pages shaped generations. It’s a story about power, manipulation, and the quiet violence of editing truth out of existence.
