Bruce Feiler

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 American Story (October 2009), reveals the central role Moses has played in American history from the Pilgrims to the Founding Fathers, from Abraham Lincoln to Barack Obama and explores how he can provide meaning in a moment of national crisis.

Feiler is currently writing an inspirational memoir of fatherhood in the face of illness that will be published in May 2010, in time for Father's Day. A regular contributor to NPRs All Things Considered, Feiler has written for The New York Times and Washington Post and is a contributing editor at Gourmet and Parade.
