check local listings at www.pbs.org/moyers/schedule.html
BILL MOYERS ON FAITH & REASON this week - Mary Gordon and Colin McGinn
How is it that two reasoned minds can come to such different conclusions on faith? Two provocative authors Mary Gordon and Colin McGinn bring their views on religion to Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, airing Friday, June 30 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). Gordon, the well-known American writer, brings her viewpoint as a Christian. "I like a religious perspective," she says. "It seems to create a language that explains more things about human beings than other languages do." McGinn, a philosopher, who talks about his own journey from belief to disbelief, sees the world differently. "I think there's too much tolerance of faith, and there's not enough respect for reason," he says. "For the last 30 to 50 years reason has been under attack."
BILL MOYERS ON FAITH & REASON features provocative conversations with unique voices drawn from the group assembled at the PEN World Voices Festival in New York: Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, Martin Amis, Mary Gordon, Richard Rodriguez, and others. During the course of seven hour-long weekly episodes, Moyers takes viewers on a rare journey deep into these writers' works and their own experience to plumb new ways of thinking about the role of religion in shaping our world.
