Book Reviews of Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey
Book Review: Photographs of a Land Familiar and Strange
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful set of photographs from the Middle East. It professes that these are the locations where many of the stories in the bible take place. This book is a companion to the TV PBS miniseries that visits the locations where the familiar stories take place.
For instance Noah's ark might have landed (as with a lot of the bible there is discussion as to where it really happened) on Mt Ararat, and here are pictures of the mountain from several aspects. Other stories are treated in a similar manner.
Most of the stories told here and illustrated with photographs from where they (might have) taken place. If I sound skeptical, it's because 5,000 years is a long time, even in the Middle East. The locations are mostly from the Old Testament, where Abraham first heard the words of God and he sleeps on the summit where Moses overlooked the Promised Land.
The pictures show a wealth of detail of an area at the same time familiar and strange.
Summary of Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey
"The process of gathering these images reminded me of the Bible's effortless ability to reinvent itself for each generation and each new way of searching."
?Bruce Feiler
Its stories may be the best known in the world, but its locations have long been a mystery. Where did Noah's ark land? Where did Moses receive the Ten Commandments? Where are the lost cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Now, in Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey, New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler offers an unprecedented heart-stirring adventure through the landscape of some of history's most storied events.
Featuring Bruce Feiler's own photography as well as his selections from professional collections, Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey brings together breathtaking vistas, intimate portraits, and fascinating panoramas, providing firsthand access to the inscrutable land where three of the world's great religions were born?and finally puts a face on the stories that have long inspired the human spirit.
Over several years, Feiler traveled nearly ten thousand miles through the deserts of the Middle East, which led first to his runaway national bestseller Walking the Bible. This new illustrated book follows his route, offering a thrilling photographic voyage through the actual places of some of the Bible's most memorable events?from the heights of Mount Ararat, where Noah's ark landed, to the desert outpost in Turkey, where Abraham first heard the words of God, to the summit where Moses overlooked the Promised Land.
Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey chronicles a landscape that nurtured the relationship between humans and the divine, breathing new meaning into stories that have been a timeless source of inspiration.
