A New Translation Of The Bible Is Available

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

The Guardian reports the book starts with that famous sentence from Genesis. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God is a smiley face with a halo. Hard to say, though, if it's a man or a woman. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
