Bruce Feiler - Where God Was Born, Abraham, Walking The Bible

Me (and Bob Dylan) on National Public Radio
Monday, February 5, 2007

I've just received word that the public radio program "Speaking of Faith" will air a special show "Children of Abraham," based on my book Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths, beginning this Thursday, February 8th. As the producer wrote me: "The program will air on public radio stations nationwide from Thursday, February 8 - Wednesday, February 14, and it will be featured on our Web site, www.speakingoffaith.org, during the same time. Speaking of Faith is now carried on 188 public radio stations nationwide, and we also have a growing audience through podcasting."

Here's a description from the show's website:

The sacred story of Abraham traverses the geography of the most bitter political conflict in the modern world—beginning in what is now southern Iraq and ending in the West Bank city of Hebron. Yet Abraham is the common patriarch of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. We explore the story of Abraham in several traditions and why he might be important for people in our time. The hour also includes readings from the Bible and the Qur'an as well as music from the likes of Bob Dylan and Benjamin Britten on the figure of Abraham.
