Synopsis
Bill Moyers explores how religious beliefs are shaping political events both at home and abroad. The first program, "The Kingdom Divided," describes how upheaval in Central America pits mainstream U.S. Christians against fundamentalists in a theological and political duel with historic consequences. "The Battle For the Bible," the second program, highlights the decade-old schism within the Southern Baptist denomination--the largest Protestant group in the country. The episode, "On Earth As It Is on Heaven," explores a potent Christian movement that urges believers to become politically active in order to create a world view where the Bible is the basis for all government, laws, and economic systems.
