Yorker, The Washington Post, Condé Nast Traveler and Gourmet.
An award-winning journalist and speaker, Feiler has
traveled to more than 60 countries on five continents, immersing himself
in different cultures and adventures. He has turned his curiosity into a
career, writing on topics from clowning to Christianity with a sense of
wonder, humor and inquisitiveness.
Most recently he has become known as both
theological tourist and tour guide, exploring Biblical history and its
physical and cultural roots in the recent bestsellers Walking the Bible
and Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths. Abraham has
inspired hundreds of grassroots interfaith discussions around the world.
