Abrahams Children: Race, Identity, and the DNA of the Chosen People
Jon Entine, author

Author Jon Entine discusses his book Abrahams Children: Race, Identity, and the DNA of the Chosen People. Abrahams Children uses DNA as a time machine, providing genetic witness to stories of the Bible, while reconnecting Jews and Christians to their shared Israelite roots. It traces the travails of the Lost Tribes into the far corners of the modern world, finding Jewish ancestral enclaves in China, southern Africa, India, and the Catholic barrios of the American Southwest. *This selection's audio quality is not ideal.
