Program Information

  • Description: The Reverend Peter Gomes, Plummer professor of Christian morals and Pusey minister at Harvard University, theologian, and author. From the New York Times: 'In his 1996 best seller, 'The good book: Reading the bible with mind and heart,' Mr. Gomes urged believers to grasp the spirit, not the letter, of scriptural passages that he said had been misused to defend racism, anti-Semitism and sexism, and to attack homosexuality and abortion. He offered interpretations that he said transcended the narrow context of modern prejudices.'
