The Test / Blessed Deception—on DVD

This DVD features The Test, the story of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of Isaac, and Blessed Deception, the story of how Rebekah tricked Isaac into blessing Jacob instead of Esau. Bill Moyers’ guests include theologians Marianne Meye Thompson and Francisco Garcia-Treto; Phyllis Trible, Baldwin Professor of Sacred Literature at Union Theological Seminary; Islamic scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr; P. K. McCary, author of Black Bible Chronicles; psychotherapist Naomi Rosenblatt; Christian historian Robin Darling Young; Norman Cohen, author of The Family Conflict Stories in Genesis; and philosopher Leon Kass. Together they and others contemplate the meaning of sacrifice, the difference between blind and true faith, sibling rivalry, the concept of women as the carriers of faith, the nature of blessing, and the uses of deception. In addition, this disc includes a special video introduction by Mr. Moyers and a menu of chapters, segments derived from the programs that single out important aspects to facilitate instruction and discussion. (120 minutes plus introduction and chapters) Can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
