Bruce Feiler - American Moses Ep. 86
Manage episode 347057204 series 2838114
Who’s the most influential figure in American political history? Washington? Lincoln? Martin Luther King? The answer, for any student of American history, should be clear: it’s Moses.
But how does this influence pan out? And how do Moses, and other Biblical figures, help us tell our own stories…even today?
To unpack all of this, Ari spoke with bestselling author and New York Times columnist Bruce Feiler, author of “America’s Prophet: Moses and the American Story”. They talked about the Age of Exploration; Moses as lawgiver vs. Moses as liberator; Lincoln’s Second Inaugural; the Bible as text vs. the Bible as map; why Abraham’s story comes before Moses’; how to improve July 4th; and much more!
Good Faith Effort is a production of Bnai Zion and SoulShop.
