This week: The Foremothers of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity with Charlotte Gordon, Ph.D. - The war in Iraq has been called a war between the sons of Sarah and the sons of Hagar, the two wives of Abraham. Biblical scholar Charlotte Gordon has examined the story of these women in all its complexity, unraveling key elements that were lost in translations of the Old Testament. Her compelling work gives us a new perspective on Sarah’s son, Isaac, the traditional father of the Jews, and Hagar’s son, Ishmael, ancestor of Mohammad. She urges us to explore the true message of the Old Testament to discover, “a language that is far more complicated, rich, and filled with love and peace as opposed to hatred.” (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
