Is the Bible just an abstraction or a real living entity? This book aims to answer the question. Part adventure story, part archaeological detective work, part spiritual exploration, this is the account of Bruce Feiler's perilous 10,000 mile journey across the Middle East in search of the roots of the Bible.

Both an exhilarating journey, and uplifting spiritual quest - Feiler recounts his experiences with humour whilst offering fresh answers to the most profound questions of human spirit.
