WHERE GOD WAS BORN
A daring adventure through the Bible’s greatest stories
By Bruce Feiler. HarperCollins. 428 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-0-06-057489-5

Travel writing, history, biblical exegesis and personal reflection are all woven together in Bruce Feiler’s third book on the Bible & the Middle East.

He embarks on a journey to the land ‘where God was born’, armed with his Bible and an archaeologist travel companion. By exploring the places of religious and political significance mentioned in the Old Testament, Feiler aims to deal with his own spiritual doubts and to ‘consider the future of faith’. The Pentateuch is dealt with in an earlier book — now Feiler reflects on the rest of the Old Testament, starting with Joshua.
