According to Michael Horton, an alternative title for this broadcast could be, “You’re so vain, you probably think this Psalm is about you.”  On this special live program recorded live at the Desiring God Conference in Minneapolis the hosts discuss the predominance of me-centered Bible interpretation.  Featuring numerous readings from bestselling Evangelical books and devotional guides, the hosts argue that most Christians today are not engaging in proper biblical exegesis, but rather are reading themselves and their own stories into the text of Scripture.  Sitting in for Ken Jones for this program is Stephen Nichols, author of Ancient Word, Changing Worlds and Jesus: Made in America.
