In God's Image / Temptation

Description

This program looks at God's creation of the Earth and humankind in In God's Image and at Adam and Eve's tasting of the forbidden fruit and subsequent expulsion from Eden in Temptation. Joining Bill Moyers are Rabbi Burton Visotzky, Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann, philosopher Leon Kass, artist Hugh O'Donnell, Catholic theologian Jean-Pierre Ruiz, psychotherapist Naomi Rosenblatt, biblical translator Stephen Mitchell, Christian historian Robin Darling Young, Princeton University's Elaine Pagels, and others.
