[Dover]

Friday, July 28, 2006 at 9PM on PBS (check local listings)

This week on BILL MOYERS ON FAITH & REASON:

On this week's Bill Moyers on Faith & Reason, writers Margaret Atwood and Martin Amis show how the imagination of the creative mind can help cross the boundaries between faith and reason and see the best and worst of human possibilities. Atwood’s most famous novel, The Handmaid's Tale, depicts a democracy transformed into a theocracy of God-quoting true believers who strip women of their rights. In a recent piece for The New Yorker, Martin Amis imagines the last days of Muhammad Atta, the leader of the suicide bombers on 9/11. Bill Moyers explores how these two confessed agnostics come to grips with a world immersed in belief.

Watch a preview.

BILL MOYERS ON FAITH & REASON features provocative conversations with unique voices drawn from the group assembled at the PEN World Voices Festival in New York: Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, Martin Amis, Mary Gordon, Richard Rodriguez, and others. During the course of seven hour-long weekly episodes, Moyers takes viewers on a rare journey deep into these writers' works and their own experience to plumb new ways of thinking about the role of religion in shaping our world.
