by Bruce Feiler
—Anglican Herald
“Goren and Feiler make for two of the most entertaining traveling buddies since Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.”
—Jewish Bulletin (San Francisco)
“How on earth did Bruce Feiler come up with so many new, insightful, witty, and touching things to say about this most ancient of civilized regions?”
—Melissa Fay Greene, author of Praying for Sheetrock
“Walking the Bible is armchair reading with a spiritual bentCombining journalism, analysis of the text, history, memoir, and many interesting digressions, Feiler writes with a sense of poetry about the land.”
—The Jewish Week
“This book belongs on the shelves next to the classics.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Full of wonder and awe, yet written from a perspective of reasoned inquiry, Walking the Bible delightfully proves that the rational and the mystical can exist side by side, each contributing to the understanding of personal and cultural religious heritage.”
—Booklist (starred review)
