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

Caleb's Dad on WALKING THE BIBLE
Wednesday, March 14, 2007

I stumbled onto another blogger who said some nice things about my work. People write me letters that say similar things, I'm pleased to say. These letters have been the best thing about having a website, until I started this blog. But reading them on a blog is a different experience. I still don't know quite what to make of it, but I am certainly grateful for his nice thoughts. Here's just the opening paragraph:

One of my "new" favorite authors is Bruce Feiler. A little over a year ago I picked up his book Walking the Bible and was really taken by his insights and personal spiritual journey. I am not concerned that he does not express "faith" as it classically might be understood, and I am not threatened by the musings about the discussion about how our understanding of God may have developed as a cultural phenomenon over time (I actually think that God has revealed himself over time and in the midst of relationships and culture). Having never journeyed the lands of the Middle East myself I particularly enjoyed Bruce's adventure. In fact, I ended up buying the PBS documentary Walking the Bible as well, along with the picture book.

He goes on to purchase ABRAHAM and keep on reading. Thanks, and good luck with your new boy Caleb (due in May). I love that name!
