This
month's topic:
America: Land of Biblical Family
Values
with Thomas Quinn
“America is based
upon the traditional family values enshrined in the Bible.”
Oh, rully?? Maybe it’s time we give this shopworn claim a closer
look. We’ll check out the “pro-family” values of Adam and Eve, Abraham
and his two wives (just the tip of the iceberg), Lot and his two
daughters (you don’t want to know), Jesus (the world’s favorite
bachelor), and Paul (another evangelical who always showed up stag). Is
the nuclear family really the foundation of the West? Do ideas like gay
marriage, abortion and teen pregnancy threaten that tradition? Thomas
Quinn will offer a humorous examination of what the Good Book
actually says about the wholesome family values that are supposedly the
only thing that stand between America and tyranny, or you and someone
raised by wolves.
Thomas Quinn is an Emmy-nominated documentary writer/producer for
Discovery Channel and History, and is the author of an upcoming book
that takes a humorous but skeptical look at the history of Christianity:
“What Do You Do with a Chocolate
Jesus?” Tom’s programs have deconstructed popular
misconceptions behind The Da Vinci
Code, Angels and Demons,
shark attacks, and many famous Urban Legends.
