Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“An exquisitely written journey…100 percent engaging.”  —Boston Globe
“A winning mix of insight, passion, and historical research…provides a basis for fostering genuine communication.”  —Christian Science Monitor
“Looking to reconcile the three monotheistic religions, the author of the best-selling Walking the Bible goes on a journey (literally slogging through the desert) to uncover their shared progenitor.” —Library Journal
”A vivid and discerning tour through a land that reflects this epochal figure’s life of exile, questioning…and faith.” —Kirkus Reviews  
“An engaging, timely book.” —Book Magazine 
“A thoughtful combination of theology, history and travel writing.”  —Austin American-Statesman 
“Scrupulously fair in reporting the thinking of all of the traditions…Appealing.” —Nashville Tennessean 
“A heartrending journey…Fascinating.” —Colorado Springs Gazette  
“Feiler’s pluralistic view of this pivotal figure is intriguing.” —Washington Post Book World 
“Engaging, accessible.” —Miami Herald 
“Feiler’s combination of journalism, commentary and self-discovery tells the reader volumes about humankind.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution 
“Fascinating…An intriguing page turner.”  —St. Petersburg Times 
“Captures the beauty and desolation of the landscape, the tension of its shared holy places.” —Oregonian 
“More important than Feiler's masterful wordsmithing is his passionate engagement of the subject matter. Italics are everywhere, yet they don’t feel overused; Feiler has a keen sense of what is at stake when these three religions claim Abraham as their father. This is a joy to read.”  —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Like his hugely popular Walking the Bible, Feiler keeps our interest by mixing theological meditation with adventurous travelogue and sly wit. And this quietly brilliant examination of Abraham, which begins as part lit-crit thesis and part theological treatise, becomes, in the end, a passionate and prayerful argument for peace between faiths.”  —Booklist (starred review)
“Anyone seeking to understand the roots of tension in the Middle East need look no further than the final half of this book, where Feiler interprets the meaning of Abraham as seen through the prism of each religion. Surprisingly, the book is as entertaining as it is thoughtful: Feiler is a masterful writer with a warm, humorous voice, a dazzling way with metaphors, and an underlying intelligence that comes through in every passage. Abraham deserves the highest of recommendations.”  —Amazon.com, editorial review
