内容简介
A beautifully illustrated edition of the New York Times bestseller, timed as a companion to the Fall 2005 PBS series based on Walking the Bible.
In 2004, Bruce Feiler reprised the journey through the Holy Land that led to his breakthrough bestseller Walking the Bible--this time he took along a documentary film crew. The result will be a heavily marketed PBS series in Fall 2005 and a lush illustrated book, Walking The Bible: A Photographic Journey.
One part adventure story, one part archaeological detective work, one part spiritual exploration, Walking The Bible: A Photographic Journey is a fascinating, unprecedented journey--by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel--through the most famous stories ever told. The combination of beautiful photography and Feiler's evocative prose will irresistibly draw readers into the Holy Land. In these pages the biblical landscape comes alive as Feiler treks though Turkey, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt, the Sinai, and Jordan visiting the actual places where some of history's most famous events took place, from the mountain where Noah's ark landed to the site of the legendary burning bush. He visits the desert outpost in Turkey where Abraham first heard the words of God and sleeps on the summit where Moses overlooked the Promised Land. For each place, he selects the finest photographs. With the vivid visual imagery of the photos and his famously lively prose, Feiler has produced an unprecedented exploration of the relationship between this ancient geography and the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places have affected our faith.
