At a time when America debates its values and the world braces for religious war, Bruce Feiler, author of the New York Times bestsellers Walking the Bible and Abraham, travels ten thousand miles through the heart of the Middle East— Israel, Iraq, and Iran— and examines the question: Is religion tearing us apart . . . or can it bring us together?
