Author of Abraham and Walking the Bible Bruce Feiler offers a powerful interfaith message and a hopeful vision for peace and reconciliation. At a moment when the world is asking, “Can the religions get along?” his work has helped bring people together.
In Walking the Bible: A Journey By Land Through the Five Books of Moses, Feiler recounted his travels through the Middle East and connected biblical stories to their actual sites. Celebrated by the Washington Post as “an instant classic,” Walking the Bible spent over a year on The New York Times bestsellers list and, in 2006, PBS aired Walking the Bible With Bruce Feiler, a mini-series written, produced and hosted by Feiler. The Wall Street Journal called it “three splendid hours of television.”
His most recent books include Where God Was Born: A Journey By Land to the Roots of Religion and Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths, which was praised as “a revolution in thought” by TIME magazine and featured on its cover. His forthcoming book, America's Prophet: Moses and the Spirit of a Nation (early 2009), will recount key moments of American history — from the pilgrims through the Civil Rights movement — exploring how the Exodus is America’s greatest story and Moses is our true founding father.
A regular contributor to NPR’s All Things Considered, Feiler has written for The New York Times and Washington Post and is a contributing editor at Gourmet and Parade.
