Sinopsis

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.


This sweeping exploration of the Bible’s role in the American story uncovers a surprising truth:


The Founding Fathers’ Prophet: Discover why Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson proposed putting Moses on the Great Seal of the United States, cementing his role from the nation’s birth. The Exodus in American History: Trace the surprising thread of the Exodus narrative as it inspires the Pilgrims on the Mayflower, soldiers in the Revolution, and activists in the Civil Rights movement. An American Promised Land: Explore how the biblical quest for a promised land has shaped American expansion, character, and its enduring sense of destiny. A Unifying Narrative: In a time of division, Feiler asks if the story of Moses can once again serve as a source of shared values and bring a fractured country together.
