Children of Abraham In 3 parts, originally BBC4, this recording from History International, captured from FTA satellite. Personal Opinion: If you have any interest at all, in understanding world religions, or simply some of the mess that the world is in today, this is an excellent exploration of that journey towards understanding. It treats all of the religions fairly, and is not overly political. It's a good watch. Summary: (an excerpt taken from BBC Channel 4 website) http://www.channel4.com/culture/microsites/C/can_you_believe_it/debates/abraham.html First shown on Channel 4, in April and May 2004 (in north america, at Christmas 2004) The Channel 4 series, Children of Abraham, looks at whether the shared roots of the three monotheistic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, could be a basis for building a shared future. Stephen Marks argues that religion is neither the root cause of the conflict nor the main prospect for peace Could the fact that all three monotheistic religions share common origins in the prophet Abraham make a difference to the conflicts they are locked into in the Middle East today? It’s a tempting idea, and anything that can moderate the ferocity of the hatreds that can divide Jews, Christians and Muslims must be welcomed. But is religion the cause of these hatreds or a label that serves as a convenient way of identifying tribes and groups that are in conflict for quite different reasons? Part I The prophet Abraham is central to the three main monotheistic faiths. 45 mins Part II The Temple Mount, Wailing Wall, and Al Asqa Mosque become objects of dispute. 45 mins Part III Christian on death row; religious intolerance; Bosnia's civil war. 45 mins All files, 720x480, 29.97fps-p, DivX AVI, 803Kb/s video, 128Kb/s audio.
