The stories in the book of Genesis–creation, humanity’s fall, the flood, Abraham and Isaac, Joseph in Egypt, and more–have intrigued and inspired Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike for millennia. Join journalist Bill Moyers as he leads some of the most passionate and thoughtful Bible discussions ever conducted. In these lively small-group conversations, dozens of accomplished people from all walks of life and many faith traditions bring their unique perspectives to 10 well-known biblical stories.

In a broadcasting career spanning nearly 40 years, journalist Bill Moyers distinguished himself at Newsday, NBC, CBS, and PBS. His many honors include lifetime achievement Emmy® and Peabody awards.
