Where God Was Born (Abridged)

by Bruce Feiler Narrated by Bruce Feiler

Overview

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 Middle East to examine the question

Is Religion Tearing Us Apart ... Or Can it Bring Us Together?

Where God Was Born combines the adventure of a wartime chronicle and an archaeological detective story with an inspiring journey of spiritual exploration. Taking readers to biblical sites not seen by Westerners for decades, it uncovers little-known details about the common roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and affirms the importance of the Bible in today's world.

Where God Was Born observes that at the birth moment of the biblical religions, all of the faiths took from one another, exchanged ideas, recognized their commonalities, and were open to peaceful coexistence. Offering a rare vision of God that can unite different faiths into a shared allegiance of hope, this is a brave, challenging, and profound work that addresses the most important issues of our time.

Editorial Reviews

APR/MAY 06 - AudioFile

Continuing where WALKING THE BIBLE left off, Feiler narrates his own journey throughout the Middle East, tracing the history behind the biblical stories of Joshua, Sampson, King David, Cyrus of Persia, the Maccabees, and more. His speaking style is gently clear, personal, and immediate. At times, his enthusiasm shows as his voice speeds up, but without loss of clarity. The contents are equally clear and enthusiastic. Disc 6 is labeled as an enhanced CD, which amounts to nothing more than links to Harper Audio’s and Feiler’s own Web sites and a set of 10 photos from Feiler’s new WALKING THE BIBLE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY. The best enhancement, however, is the 20-minute interview with the author, in which Feiler speaks about how he came to write about the Bible and about his revelations along the way.
