| All About Eve |

We often hear about Abraham, the Biblical father of Jews, Christians and Muslims, but not so much about his wife, Sarah. We hear God described as a Lord, a King, a white-bearded disciplinarian in the sky…but rarely is God called a mother, a nurturer or a woman. And then there’s Eve, who, according to the standard interpretation of the book of Genesis, sprung forth from Adam’s rib: the original second-class citizen. Feminist theology is trying to change these kinds of views. Our interview first aired in June 2009.

| We're Not the Same- And That's OK |

Somewhere around the 1960s, it became fashionable to think of all religions as alike at their core - different paths up the same mountain, to the same God. But this warm and fuzzy view of religion has a problem: call it the Kumbaya Effect. Stephen Prothero says it fails to recognize the fascinating and, indeed, irreconcilable differences among the world's faiths, creating a "pretend pluralism" that does more harm then good. Our interview first aired in June 2010.
