The Hebrew Bible is every bit America’s moral founding document as the Constitution is our political founding document. Every week, Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm, speaks with thinkers, writers, artists, and faith leaders to explore how the Bible continues to inform our lives today, from politics to psychology to pop culture, bringing Americans of different traditions and persuasions closer together as so much else threatens to pull us apart.

Sohrab Ahmari - No Way to Build a World: Ep. 1
As far as creation stories go, the Bible’s, let’s admit it, is messy: in the first few chapters alone, we see trials and redos, sin and murder, and much more failure than success. What can this deeply flawed account of the beginning of all things teach us about ourselves? Sohrab Ahmari, prominent writer and opinion editor for the New York Post, joins us to tell the story of his own recreation, which took him from Iran to New York and from Islam to Marxism and, finally, to a deep commitment to the Catholic faith.
