Heads up for the TIVO/VCR this week–PBS's God in America Series October 11,12,13, 2010

You can read about it here where the introduction begins this way:

How has religious belief shaped American history? What role have religious ideas and spiritual experience played in shaping the social, political and cultural life of what has become the world’s most religiously diverse nation?

For the first time on television, God in America, a presentation of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE and FRONTLINE, will explore the historical role of religion in the public life of the United States. The six-hour series, which interweaves documentary footage, historical dramatization and interviews with religious historians, will air over three consecutive nights on PBS beginning Oct. 11, 2010.

Read the whole thing at the link and you can watch a preview there also.

    I”ve liked pretty much everything American Experience has produced so this should be pretty good. Looking forward to it anyway.

  2. Fradgan says:

    PBS looks at God in America?

    The PC crowd at PBS will surely give some mention of the Christian God (that will include, negatively, His role in wars, racism, gay-bashing, the KKK, AIDS, abortion, feminism, the Founding Fathers, antisemitism, child-molestation, and TEC).

    I may sit this one out.

    Is this something that is going to make my blood boil? Given the source, probably yes. Will you review it?
