Here; in the spirit of Bruce Feiler's beloved bestseller Walking the Bible; is a portrait of the Holy Land as a physical embodiment of faith. Dramatically conjuring the beauty of Israel's countryside; In the Steps of the Master also evokes the all-consuming passions and deep-rooted mysteries of Jerusalem—and while much has changed; as Morton says; the essential nature of the sites he visits has not.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very informative; though incompleteBy Joseph CsaszarI'm almost a hundred pages in and am loving this book. After listening to many Roman history podcasts I became intrigued on the involvement of slavery in economies throughout history. I'm finding the book to be very very enlightening; but will have to look elsewhere to find out what flavors of slavery took place in Asia and other parts. It seems fairly Eurocentric; but it's a great start.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Kevin TurnerExcellent.

You realize that most people's view of slavery is so short sighted and inaccurate - only thinking about the African American slavery in the American South. I was shocked to learn of the diverse practices of slavery around the world and throughout history. The author writes in a clear and concise way; guiding the reader through the centuries and what daily life was like.In light of our country's current debates about removing public statues of Southerners who had anything to do with slavery; this book helps you understand what a different mindset existed about slavery in the past. The book makes it clear that for most of civilization hardly anyone ever even questioned whether or not slavery was okay. That's just the way the world worked. We must be careful not to judge those who came before us by the standards of today.
