Genesis 1 — The Good Earth

from Learning How to See with Brian McLaren Hosted by Center for Action and Contemplation

Welcome to the 10th season of Learning How to See hosted by Brian McLaren and guest hosts Rev. Dr. Randy Woodley and Edith Woodley. In today's episode, our hosts examine Genesis 1 through the lens of Indigenous wisdom, contrasting “earth people” with “empire people.” “Earth people” understand themselves as part of an interconnected web of life and practice caring for the land. “Empire people,” instead, emphasize domination and control. Join us at our Bible study, as Brian, Edith, and Randy unpack Genesis 1, and invite us to consider how we hear and interpret the Bible. Find the transcript for this episode here. Resources: Learn more about the Woodleys and Eloheh here. Pick up a copy of Randy’s new book, How Western Christianity Got It Wrong. Journey to Eloheh by Randy and Edith Woodley explores how Indigenous values lead us to harmony and well-being. Discover more about composer April Stace here.
