It's 586 BC. The Babylonian army has just burned the Temple to the ground. And a devastated scribe picks up a pen and writes the most politically dangerous sentence ever recorded.

In this episode, of The Daily Word part 1 of our four part series, we go back to where the Bible begins , and discover that Genesis Chapter One was never just a creation story.
