Translations | Seeing fresh faces of an ancient story

What happens when we move from being passive readers of Scripture to active participants in its interpretation? Inspired by the work of Bible translators Robert Alter and N.T. Wright, Mara creates her own mythical rendition of Genesis One that explores the cosmic drama of creation. Like Lucy stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia, this episode invites listeners to encounter the ancient text with fresh wonder.
