Story
If the Bible isn’t a science book or an instruction manual, then what is it? What do people mean when they say the Bible is inspired? When Rachel Held Evans found herself asking these questions, she began a quest to better understand what the Bible is and how it is meant to be read. What she discovered changed her—and it will change you too.
Drawing on the best in recent scholarship and using her well-honed literary expertise, Evans examines some of our favorite Bible stories and possible interpretations, retelling them through memoir, original poetry, short stories, soliloquies, and even a short screenplay. Undaunted by the Bible’s most difficult passages, Evans wrestles through the process of doubting, imagining, and debating Scripture’s mysteries. The Bible, she discovers, is not a static work but is a living, breathing, captivating, and confounding book that is able to equip us to join God’s loving and redemptive work in the world.

In this fascinating volume, Karen Armstrong, author of the highly praised A History of God, traces the history of how Jews, Christians, and Muslims have all laid claim to Jerusalem as their holy place, and how three radically different concepts of holiness have shaped and scarred the city for thousands of years.

Story
In the first half of life, we are naturally preoccupied with establishing ourselves; climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and encounter challenges and mistakes, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. This message of falling down - that is in fact moving upward - is the most resisted and counterintuitive of messages in the world's religions. Falling Upward offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how those who have fallen down are the only ones who understand "up".

In this new translation of the Gospel of Thomas, Leloup shows that the Jesus recorded by the "infinitely skeptical and infinitely believing" Thomas has much in common with gnostics of non-dualistic schools. Like them, Jesus preaches the coming of a new man, the genesis of the man of knowledge. In this gospel, Jesus describes a journey from limited to unlimited consciousness. The Jesus of Thomas invites us to drink deeply from the well of knowledge within, not so that we may become good Christians but so we may attain the self-knowledge that will make each of us, too, a Christ.

Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

An encounter with 18-year-old Jesus changes everything.

This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant - both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.

Publisher's summary
Bruce Feiler sets out on a personal quest to better understand our common patriarch. Traveling in war zones, climbing through caves and ancient shrines, and sitting down with the world's leading religious minds, Feiler uncovers fascinating, little-known details of the man who defines faith for half the world.
Both immediate and timeless, Abraham is a powerful, universal story, the first-ever interfaith portrait of the man God chose to be his partner. Thoughtful and inspiring, it offers a rare vision of hope that will redefine what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves.

Abraham
I was deeply disappointed in the quality of this work. The author lumped Jewish tradition, Islam, and Christianity in one bag and then chose the parts he thought were accurate. The author certainly did not believe in the Abraham of the Bible. I could not recommend that anyone waste their time and money reading this book. In contrast to what I usually get from Audible Books, I feel cheated on this one.

Passionate Reading
The great things about this book are not only the wealth of material on the place of Abraham in all three Traditions, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, but also, and perhaps more so, the passion and energy of the author's quest, for, as he points out, in discovering Abraham we discover ourself.

wordy but easy listening
I agree with the reviewer form Santa Ana (that the author could have stated his case more succintly), but this is a relaxing and informative listen - a good tri-faith perspective on Abraham (who, like the rest of the Bible can't be reduced to just the words about him in the Bible text); it's also a message of hope for interfaith relations in the longer term.
I couldn't finish the print version of one of Feilor's other books because I found it a rambling read, but I think I will download the audio of the same work for listening.
Abraham is relaxing because it's kept simple, a narrative of a personal journey of discovery, and not weighed down with footnotes or detail. For that kind of listen on related topics (also good but not so relaxing), try Karen Armstrong.

Worthwhile but wordy
Feiler takes a secular view of the Abraham story and discusses the significance to the three religions. Trouble is his thesis could be easily stated in about half the time. Also the last 45 minutes or so is a preview of his "Walking through the Bible". Nevertheless if you are interested in the topic and have nothing better to listen to this one is OK.

A Journey, But Not to the Heart
I so looked forward to this book, but what a disappointment! The author strains so hard to turn a phrase the book reads like a high school creative writing essay. That could be overlooked, perhaps, if conclusions reached were based on sound logic. Instead of an honest attempt to paint a rich picture of Abraham on top of the charcoal outline we already know, the author seems to reach for whatever might be the most fantastic or controversial conclusion even when it contradicts the very research he presents. This book is clearly not of a journey to the heart of three faiths. It is more like opening a tabloid in line at the grocery store.

well done
So many historical writings tend to be quite dry. This, on the other hand, was really entertaining as well as informative.
He looks at Abraham from the perspective of each of the big three religions, traveling to the region and interviewing scholars. So, the story is not just WHO Abraham is but WHAT he means to each of these religions.
Well done.

Not what I was looking for exactly, but good none-the-less
Great writing and narrating. Was looking for something a little more historically grounded that dug into the details of Abraham's life and the culture / context of his day. This is more of a journalistic investigation on how Abraham has come to be known to the world today.

Missing almost half the book
I had to get this book for my college class, but it’s missing the last few chapters! Dont buy this if you want/need the last few chapters.
Side note: author makes many numerous claims about different religions that dont line up with what the religions actually believe. He also often times gives no reference to where he got these assumptions and just leaves them hanging as if it was factual. The book is well written and it would be easy for a non-religious person to be fooled into believing everything in the book is true.
Example: in chapter 1 he claims christianity goes out of it’s way to tie Abreham into the religion which is blatantly false. Abreham is a direct part of the bloodline of Jesus which is important to the Christian religion as Christians use the old testiment to review the bloodline of Christ, and the spiritual warefare of the devil attacking that bloodline. It’s used to review reflections and prophesies of the messaiah as well as a display for the necessity of a messaiah.
Another example: he claims Abreham is the first monotheist. There is an entire 1/5 of the book of genesis that rejects this idea.
Another example: he tells a parable about 3 brothers and their grain. While it is a nice story he claims it’s a part of the christian and judaic religion when it’s nowhere to be found
Another example: he claims Adam’s eating of the apple is strictly a display of Adam preferring Eve to God which is pretty blatantly false
Another example: He claims the tower of Babel was a threat to God. This is completely false.
Another example: after stating Abreham to be a monotheist he claims Abreham still contacts and prays to multiple gods (a not only false but also self contradictory claim) again, he gives no references to where any of these tie in to the religion of Christianity
These are just a few notes i took from reading it for my college class. It’s a well written book, but the education necessary for studying the figure of Abreham so closely is incredibly lacking it almost hurts to read.

When we rewind history to Abraham's era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids in an attempt to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, this collage of confusion, one man emerged. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith.

Story
In contrast to the oppressive Roman military occupation of the first century, Crossan examines the meaning of the non-violent Kingdom of God prophesized by Jesus and the equality advocated by Paul to the early Christian churches. Crossan contrasts these messages of peace with the misinterpreted apocalyptic vision from the Book of Revelation, which has been misrepresented by modern right-wing theologians and televangelists to justify US military actions in the Middle East.
