Omschrijving

Bruce Feiler's New York Times bestsellers Abraham, Walking the Bible, and Where God Was Born brilliantly explored the roots of faith. With America's Prophet, Feiler looks at Moses and the essential role the prophet has played in our nation's history and development. Bruce Feiler's most fascinating and thought-provoking book to date, America's Prophet delves deeply into how the Exodus story and America's true "Spiritual Founding Father" have inspired many of the most important figures and defining events in this country's history--from the Mayflower Pilgrims to the Civil Rights movement--and how Moses can provide meaning in times of national crisis, even today.


What makes this three-thousand-year-old biblical narrative the surprising symbol of the American story?


  • America's Founding Father: Discover why figures from the Mayflower Pilgrims to Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson saw their own struggles in the story of Moses and the Exodus.
  • A Narrative of Hope: Trace the surprising thread of this story through the nation's defining moments, from the Revolution and the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement.
  • Freedom and Law: Explore the profound tension at the heart of the American experiment, examining how the Liberty Bell's inscription echoes the balance between liberation and covenant.
  • A Unifying Figure: Uncover how leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr., turned to Moses in times of crisis to provide inspiration and a path toward the Promised Land.
