Summary
Summary
Bruce Feiler invites readers on a never-in-a-lifetime experience, retracing the Bible through the bloodiest places on the planet, from the Garden of Eden in war-torn Iraq to the rivers of Babylon just south of Baghdad from David's conquest of Jerusalem to Queen Esther's face-off with the King of Persia. At each site, Feiler discusses the Bible with local characters, from archaeologists to army chaplains, and draws lessons for fostering reconciliation in our time. Where God Was Born is a powerful, inspiring story, sure to make headlines, that offers a rare, universal vision of God that can unite members of different faiths in a shared allegiance of hope.Editorial Reviews
