In “the church of baseball,” John Sexton is one of the preeminent theologians. In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers sits down with Sexton—president of New York University, a scholar of religion and law, and a baseball fan for whom every pitch is an epiphany—for a wide-ranging conversation about God, baseball, and the importance of thoughtful discourse in society. Then, Moyers revisits his acclaimed poetry series Fooling with Words and gives viewers a special update on the 2010 Biennial Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival. Broadcast date: March 12, 2010. (53 minutes)
