This 1966 classic tells the story of two Old Testament leaders from the Book of Judges.

Genesis is the story of stories, an eloquent telling of the first book of the Bible, a theatrical tour de force. With remarkable energy and a gift for storytelling that can prickle the back of your neck, McLean captures the humor and pathos in Genesis' dramatic sweep from Eden to Babel, from the immense flood of Noah to Abraham's heart-cleaving sacrifice of his son Isaac, from the epic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to Jacob's soul-wounding wrestling match with the Angel of God.

Alan Bates narrates these two impressively told stories. The first tells the story of Jacob and Esau as they fight over their birthright. The second tells the story of Joseph, who is sold into slavery by his brothers.
