As the terrorist attacks of September 11 attest, our world is more vulnerable than ever to disasters of biblical proportions. History's lens usually focuses on the monumental, but its perspective becomes drained of meaning if it loses sight of the human dimension of catastrophe. From this point of view, we examine God's testing of Noah's faith and what he endured to obey. Was his conscience tortured when the waters rose and he turned a deaf ear on those who must have begged him to board the Ark?

An intriguing search for the fabled Garden of Eden and the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. Can the account of the Creation, as passed down in the book of Genesis, still be taken literally?

Explores the Bible's saga of Noah and the great flood and compares it with stories from other religions and cultures, including the Assyrian tale of Gilgamesh, in which God destroyed the Earth by water while sparing one man and his family, and flood myths from the Mayans and American-Indian tribes. We also talk to Dr. Lloyd Bailey, a Duke University Professor of the Hebrew Bible, who reports that the Book of Genesis contains two distinctly different versions of Noah's story.

Story of the search for the mountain where Moses spoke to God and received the Ten Commandments. Explores the possibility that the site could be at St. Catherine's monastery.

We know the walls of the legendary city "came tumblin' down." We'll explore when. Archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon argues that Jericho fell before Joshua arrived, and Professor Bryant Wood supports the biblical version of events.

Did David really slay Goliath? What happened to Israel's archenemy, the Philistines? Explores these and other fascinating questions about King David. Includes a visit to Bethlehem, the city he founded, and Ein Gedi, the desert oasis to which he fled.

Follows Saint Paul's journeys to explore his stunning transformation from Christianity's bitterest foe to its strongest advocate. Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus determined the future of the Christian movement and the Western world.
