Acclaimed television journalist Bill Moyers brings together some of the world's liveliest minds, from a variety of backgrounds and religious faiths, for conversations on the ageless wisdom from the Bible's epic first book. Creation, temptation, murder, exile, and family strife - these themes emerge from every page of Genesis and speak to us today. Genesis invites readers into a lively and accessible discussion of the manifold meanings of these stories, and engages us in a fascinating exploration of the relationship between interpreter and text. This is the companion volume to the groundbreaking PBS Series, and it contains more extensive conversations among the panel participants, since many of these discussions were edited for the television series. 361 pages, softcover from Doubleday.
