Walking the Bible: a photographic journey

Feiler, Bruce
Its stories may be the best known in the world, but its locations have long been a mystery. Where did Noah's ark land? Where did Moses receive the Ten Commandments? Where are the lost cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Now, inWalking the Bible: A Photographic Journey, New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler offers an unprecedented heart-stirring adventure through the landscape of some of history's most storied events. Featuring Bruce Feiler's own photography as well as his selections from professional collections,Walking the Bible: A Photographic Journey brings together breathtaking vistas, intimate portraits, and fascinating panoramas, providing firsthand access to the inscrutable land where three of the world's great religions were born—and finally puts a face on the stories that have long inspired the human spirit.

This new illustrated book follows his route, offering a thrilling photographic voyage through the actual places of some of the Bible's most memorable events—from the heights of Mount Ararat, where Noah's ark landed, to the desert outpost in Turkey, where Abraham first heard the words of God, to the summit where Moses overlooked the Promised Land.

The Bible Unmasked

Lewis, Joseph
The Bible Unmasked is a book written by Joseph Lewis that aims to critically examine the Bible and reveal its flaws, inconsistencies, and contradictions. The author argues that the Bible is not a divinely inspired text but rather a collection of myths, legends, and historical inaccuracies. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the Bible, such as its creation story, the Ten Commandments, and the life of Jesus Christ. The author uses historical, scientific, and philosophical arguments to debunk the Bible's claims and to offer alternative explanations for the events and characters described in the text. The book is intended for readers who are interested in exploring the Bible from a critical and skeptical perspective and who are willing to challenge their own beliefs and assumptions about religion and faith.Contents: Abram and Sarai; Isaac and Rebekah; Incest, or Lot and His Daughters; Jacob, Leah and Rachel; Rape of Dinah; Joseph and Potiphar's Wife; Judah and Tamar; 19th Chapter of Judges; King David and His Wives; Rape of Tamar; Story of Ruth; King Solomon and His Songs; Book of Esther, New Testament; Virgin Birth; Elizabeth, Mary and the Angel Gabriel; Jesus and the Sinner, Creed of Science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
