Bruce Feiler—America’s Prophet

Moses and the American Story Wednesday, November 11, 7:30 pm Admission: Free; advance reservations required In his groundbreaking new book, America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story, distinguished author and journalist Bruce Feiler delves deeply into how the Exodus story and Moses, whom he considers America's "Spiritual Founding Father," have inspired many of the most important figures and defining events in this country's history. Equal parts adventure story, detective tale, and exploration of faith in contemporary life, America's Prophet takes readers to the landmarks of America's narrative—from Gettysburg to Selma, from Plymouth Rock to the Oval Office—to understand how Moses has shaped the character of our nation.

America's Prophet is Bruce Feiler at his innovative best: compelling, sweeping and engaging. Highly recommended!"—Douglas Brinkley
