“An instant classic. . . . A pure joy to read.” —Washington Post Book World Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man’s epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler’s inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history’s most legendary events. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You’ll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah’s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Using the latest archeological research, Feiler explores how physical location affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places, as well as his experience, have affected his faith. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit. “Smart and savvy, insightful and illuminating.” —Los Angeles Times “An exciting, well-told story informed by Feiler’s boundless intellectual curiosity . . . [and] sense of adventure.” —Miami Herald

Also available in economical Study Guide version with full text, and Digital Edition in full color. This is the Teacher's edition, full color, 8 1/2" square, 343 pages. Worldviews are a significant part of the way we view the world. They impact our perception of reality. They impact our perception of the environment. And they impact our perception of ourselves. They relate, as I had seen, as I adventured through worldview study and interaction, writing college papers and identifying events in history that led to the current views in the world. The writing does not only contain evidence relating to the spirit, it also contains the unveiling of mysteries I discovered during study, personal accounts, and includes steps that followed in understanding how these mysteries seem to form the world. The study, relaying the way the views impact theology, philosophy, the world, and the unborn, continues unveiling, but I must put this much down on paper for now--a compilation from my A papers in Biblical study.
