What's behind this renewed spiritual interest ?
Journalist Bill Moyers believes it has something to do with a deep need for meaning in our lives.
As he has done so successfully in the past, Moyers taps into this phenomenon with Genesis: A Living Conversation , a public television series and companion book, Talking About Genesis: A Resource Guide , produced by Public Affairs Television in conjunction with Bill Moyers, offers cupplementary material for further discussion." " Bill Moyers, from Talking About Genesis says: " A television program can introduce ideas, but only people can make things happen. What can you do ? I hope you will form your own Genesis group. You can ask family, friends, coworkers, or members of your church, synagogue, or mosque to join you.
There is no 'right way' to do it- these stories may be old and familiar or brand new to you; you may have had years of religious education or none at all; you may come as a believer or a doubter. But come for the adventure. If you stick with it, there is no method of Bible study that is more stimulating, more eye-opening, more rewarding. Even if you wind up in the same place at the end of the journey, with precisely the same beliefs that you started with, you will not be the same person. You will learn new things about yourself and the world."
