520    "At a time when America debates its values and the world 
       braces for religious war, Feiler travels ten thousand 
       miles through the heart of the Middle East and examines 
       the question: Is religion tearing us apart, or can it 
       bring us together? Taking readers to sites not seen by 
       Westerners for decades, Feiler's journey uncovers little-
       known details about the common roots of Judaism, 
       Christianity, and Islam, and affirms the importance of the
       Bible in today's world. In Israel, he treks through secret
       underground tunnels and locates the spot where David 
       toppled Goliath. In Iraq, he visits the Garden of Eden and
       the birthplace of Abraham, and makes a life-threatening 
       trip to the rivers of Babylon. In Iran, he explores the 
       home of the Bible's first messiah and uncovers the secret 
       burial place of Queen Esther. Feiler's bold realization is
       that the Bible argues for interfaith harmony.--From
