If You Want to Understand the Bible
The Lord has blessed Bruce Feiler. Very informative. I've read his other books Walking the Bible, and Abraham, and it was difficult to put them down.

Illuminating History
Everyone needs to read. Enlarged my understanding of Biblical history and provided background for todays problems in that part of the country. .

Sign of our times
So, unsurprisingly, it is a sign of our times that this book's many mistakes would go unnoticed by the vast majority. Today, our culture scoffs at believing the Bible, as a result it is not at all fashionable to actually read it.

Feiler's book is an engrossing travelogue. He takes us to many of the sites referenced in the Bible and helps make them come alive with his narrative. However, even as a newcomer to Bible study, I caught several errors just in the first few chapters.

Had this book been written 50 years ago, I think even the most secular editor would have sent the book back for a rewrite. How can we take Feiler's points seriously, when he can't get even the basic facts straight? .
