Join us this week at Patheos for a live chat on this week\u2019s PBS special God in America<\/a>! \u00a0 Along with an opportunity to chat with the producers of the series, you\u2019ll also see interviews with three of the show\u2019s producers and a review of the entire series.<\/p>\n

Stephen Prothero, one of the show\u2019s chief editorial consultants, is also interviewed about the show and his book God Is Not One<\/em>, this week at Patheos. Here\u2019s a question and answer from the interview:<\/p>\n

A lot of people will see and hear you on the new PBS documentary, <\/em>God In America<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. <\/em> (We\u2019re hosting the post-film\u00a0discussion<\/a><\/strong> at Patheos.)\u00a0How would you summarize to that film audience what your book,\u00a0God Is Not One<\/a>, <\/em>is about, and\u00a0why people should read it?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

God in America<\/em> is of course about U.S. religious history while\u00a0God Is Not One<\/em> is about religion worldwide. Because of its emphasis on religion and public power, the PBS mini-series focuses on Christians because, for better or for worse, Christians have held (and continue to hold) the reins of public power in the United States. But Americans today live in a world in which those reins are held by Muslims in Iran and Confucians in China and Hindus in India, so we need to know something about those religions to make sense of the world. I think\u00a0God in America<\/em> will appeal to viewers who would like to address their own religious literacy deficits by learning something about the role of religion in U.S. history.\u00a0God Is Not One<\/em> will appeal to readers who would like to address those same deficits by learning something about the role of religion across the globe today.<\/p>\n

Read the rest of the interview here<\/a>. \u00a0And visit the Patheos Book Club<\/a> for more resources on God Is Not One<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Come and join the live chat today<\/a> from 3-4 pm EST; \u00a0and Wednesday\/Thursday from noon-1 pm EST.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
