Bruce Feiler

Abraham Bruce Feiler

At a moment when world peace has been shattered in the name of religion, one figure stands out as the shared ancestor of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims. One man holds the key to our deepest fear -- and our possible reconciliation: Abraham. With the same grace, eloquence, and emotional honesty that made Walking the Bible such a rich read, Feiler sets out on a personal quest to better understand our common patriarch, traveling in war zones, climbing through caves and ancient shrines, and sitting down with the world's leading religious minds. In the process, he uncovers fascinating, little-known details of the man who defines faith for half the world. Thoughtful and inspiring, Abraham will redefine what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves. Bruce Feiler is a contributor to National Public Radio's All Things Considered. He is the author of the bestselling title Walking the Bible, which spent six weeks on the New York Times Publishers Weekly religion bestseller list for five months. ""Feiler. . . once again offers a winning combination of history, travel, and spiritual memoir. . . [with a] passionate engagement of the subject matter. . . . This is a joy to read.
