About this listen

People need stories to make sense of the world - to hold their lives together, and to fasten on to those values that last. The greatest stories are found in the Bible, enduring through the centuries. In Genesis, acclaimed television journalist Bill Moyers brings together some of the world's liveliest minds for spirited round-table discussions of the ageless stories from the Bible's first, towering book.

Creation, temptation, murder, exile, and family strife - these emerge from every page of Genesis and speak to us today. Genesis invites listeners 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. Among the scores of writers, theologians, artists, and thinkers in the series are Mary Gordon, Phyllis Trible, John Barth, Faye Kellerman, Samuel Proctor, Aviva Zornberg, Walter Brueggemann, Robert Alter, Oscar Hijuelos, Charles Johnson, Stephen Mitchell, Leon Kass, Elaine Pagels, Bharati Mukherjee, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Elizabeth Swados, Renita Weems - all in a dazzling, multi-layered chorus of voices.

Genesis has the capacity to enrich people's lives intellectually and spiritually.

The Bible has always been a part of my life. I am no longer a believer, but I am still regularly fascinated by the Bible. These discussions from believers, non-believers, writers, and experts from a range of faiths provide insightful, provocative, and challenging ideas, counter-points, and revelations on these well known and often misunderstood stories.
