DVD Reviews of Walking the Bible
DVD Review: Walk through history and look for the presence of God
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt like I was attending a well done presentation at graduate school. It was wonderful not to have to filter out theological, archaeological, or linguistic jargon. It was given as smoothly as a long talk on the phone to a friend. Very nice job.
It felt like there were no biases here, just an open seeking for the truth, and matching the evidence to the Bible, to the local legends. This gave a more complete picture than someone with a theological axe to grind, be it Fundamentalist, Atheist, or Nihilist. (a religion is an organised system of belief or dis-belief) One often wonders if the speaker can be believed in those cases, unless one is already in agreement with their platform. And there is really no need for a platform unless you need to con people like a politician. Let the facts speak and let people decide if its enough.
The guide showed cultural and religious respect to all the peoples he met, in every region. This went from participating in a wedding dance at the slope of Mt. Ararat, to sharing hospitality in a Bedouin tent, to asking lodging at a desert monastery.
I think the native people responded naturally, because he was relaxed, not coming across like a know-it-all professor out to prove his thesis. So he also got access to places Westerners generally don't. For example - passage through the military zones to reach Ararat, and past the armed guards to the Dome of the Rock. It helped that he was "PBS". They seemed to like PBS.
It was sad to hear how the lands have changed since Bible days, like Egypt losing trees, and Israel being near-desert all over. The trek really helps to make the Bible personal, as it did for the host.
There is something about getting to know the place and the people that helps to connect with the past. We lose so much of our connectedness in modern "civilized" countries, where you may not even know your heritage 2 generations back.
This is valuable for re-connecting to the human family, as well as connecting humans to their relationship with YHWH, God of the Bible.
Description of Walking the Bible
Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man?s epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler?s inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history?s most legendary events.The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You?ll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah?s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit.
Bruce Feiler is the New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey. He is also a frequent contributor to NPR and is a contributing editor at Gourmet and Parade.
