Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason Program Listing For Friday, July 14, 2006
check local listings at www.pbs.org/moyers/schedule.html
BILL MOYERS ON FAITH & REASON this week - Jeanette Winterson and Will Power
On Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, airing Friday, July 14 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), authors Anne Provoost and David Grossman give viewers new takes on the Biblical stories of Noah and Samson that make us question what it means to claim we are a "chosen people." "How can God say, 'You get on the ship because you're good, and all the others need to drown because they are bad?'" says Provoost about God choosing Noah and his family to survive the flood. "As an Israeli, and as a Jew, I find a lot of symptoms of our behavior today, as a society, as a state, coded in the character of the Biblical Samson," says Grossman. "The Bible, thank God...is not politically correct."
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.
