Episode 2: Genesis — The Beginning of All Things

Genesis forms part of the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, and Jewish and Christian tradition attributes its authorship to Moses, although modern scholars suggest it was compiled over the course of several centuries. Its writing is placed approximately between the 10th and 5th centuries B.C. Its Hebrew title is "Bereshit," meaning "in the beginning," the first word of the text. A curious fact: Genesis spans a longer period of time than any other book of the Bible, from creation itself to the death of Joseph in Egypt, some 2,300 years of narrated history.
