Synopsis
WALKING THE BIBLE is simultaneously a spiritual quest and a 'geographical exegesis' of scripture. Feiler, who teamed up with archeological expert Avner Goren, trekked 10,000 miles across the Near and Middle East following the historical events of the Old Testament. Not only does he vividly describe the journey--he also connects a spiritual intensity to each geographic locale he visits. The result is a deeply researched, almost scholarly, yet skillfully crafted and profound spiritual travelogue.

Industry Reviews
"[U]ltimately Feiler's journey becomes a travelogue not simply of places but of people, those for whom the Bible is still birthplace and battleground--the Palestinians, Kurds, and kibbutzniks whose words and works keep reinventing the Holy Land as 'a literary landscape as rich and bountiful as Shakespeare's England, Flaubert's France, or Joyce's Ireland.'"
Caroline Fraser (04/20/2001)
"While he unearths no proof of the miraculous, Feiler, a secular-minded Jewish American Southerner, finds the landscape so soul-stirring that his scientific quest takes a detour, becoming instead an eloquently spiritual pilgrimage."
Entertainment Weekly - Megan Harlan (04/20/2001)
"The seamlessness with which Feiler blends first-person narrative, biblical lore, archeology and history in WALKING THE BIBLE will be familiar to readers of his previous books; the intensity with which he chronicles his spiritual journey will not."
Publishers Weekly - Wendy Smith (04/30/2001)
"Although his insights are seldom startling and his writing tends towards the long-winded, Feiler delivers a wealth of information in an accessible and entertaining format."
New York Times Book Review - Diane Cole (07/22/2001)
