In the Beginning is a 2000 American two-part biblical television miniseries directed by Kevin Connor.

It stars Martin Landau and Jacqueline Bisset and originally aired on NBC on November 12 and 13, 2000.

Set around the year 2000 B.C., the narrative opens with "Genesis 12," wherein the LORD has told Abraham and company to leave their country to a land of milk and honey to be named later.

In order to keep up the morale of his followers while on the road, Abraham gives a sermon that sums up God's creation of the universe.

Family dramas take center stage, whether it's God testing Abraham by telling him to kill his son in sacrifice, Joseph gaining power in Egypt after being sold to slave traders by his brothers, or one of the many other stories of brothers fighting (Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, etc.).
