Synopsis

In this timely, provocative, and uplifting journey, the bestselling author of Walking the Bible searches for the man at the heart of the world's three monotheistic religions -- and today's deadliest conflicts. At a moment when the world is asking, “Can the religions get along?” one figure stands out as the shared ancestor of Jews, Christians, and Muslims. One man holds the key to our deepest fears -- and our possible reconciliation. Abraham. Bruce Feiler set out on a personal quest to better understand our common patriarch. Traveling in war zones, climbing through caves and ancient shrines, and sitting down with the world's leading religious minds, Feiler uncovers fascinating, little-known details of the man who defines faith for half the world. Both immediate and timeless, Abraham is a powerful, universal story, the first-ever interfaith portrait of the man God chose to be his partner. Thoughtful and inspiring, it offers a rare vision of hope that will redefine what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves.

Goodreads review by Jim on September 17, 2021

I found Bruce Feiler's search for Abraham to be somewhat interesting. Abraham is the shared ancestor of the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Particularly interesting for me, as I had never thought about it, is that each religion gives a different interpretation......more

Goodreads review by Kathryn on September 29, 2014

I thought I would love this book, but I was disappointed. The author's premise is his search for the truth of the Biblical Abraham. He investigates how each of the three great People of the Book - Jews, Christians & Moslems - view Abraham. I thought his analysis was thin and disorganized. He lets ea......more

Goodreads review by Syed Ali on May 15, 2021

Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths by Bruce Feiler It was my first experience to read a book discussing the personality, Abraham/Ibrahim, common in all three monotheistic religions. Ignoring the discussion about basic beliefs, what I like is the message of co-existance, tolerance and a tr......more
