Happy New Year! And, a conversation with Leon Kass

During the course of some recent long, long family-vacation drives, I had the chance to listen to some more of Bill Kristol's "Conversations", including the one with Leon Kass.  It was -- regardless of whether or not one agrees with Kristol on politics, etc. -- wonderful. Here is the transcript.  Most of the discussion focused on Kass's teaching and writing on the Hebrew Bible, especially the Book of Genesis.  Kass was insightful, and even inspiring, in his remarks.  MOJ readers might be particularly interested in what he had to say -- and in what he suggests Genesis tells us about moral anthropology, equality, and the ground of human dignity.
