 A striking visual panorama, not to be missed. January 6, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
WALKING THE BIBLE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY could also have been featured in our Spirituality section: it's reviewed here for its striking photo impact so that artists don't miss the value of its presentation. It's a companion volume to the new PBS series on its way: in 2004 Feiler reprised the 10,000 mile walk through the Middle East deserts which led to his WALKING THE BIBLE. This photographic odyssey blends stunning photos - many taken by Feiler - with a survey of Biblical places and landscapes. A striking visual panorama, not to be missed.

This is a real walk through the holy land especially if you can't get there.

Intellectually written with attention to spiritual doctrines. Page turning photos kept the reader at once connected to the readings.

I love the pictures in the book and the DVD series that goes with it. Excellent teaching tools.
Photographs of a Land Familiar and Strange March 10, 2006
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
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.
