Bruce Feiler

Bruce Feiler (born October 25, 1964) is a writer on social issues and, particularly more recently, on religion. He tends to write in an accessible, conversational style, blending travelogue, interviews, autobiography, and personal musings with history and archaeology. He writes on religion from a progressive religious point of view. Some of his back catalog of books was republished in paperback after the particular commercial success he had with one of his books, Walking the Bible, in 2001. He also appeared as the host of a television version of Walking the Bible, which was shown on PBS.

Feiler is credited with first expressing the Feiler Faster Thesis that the increasing pace of society and journalists' ability to report it is matched by the public's desire for more information.

Feiler is a native of Savannah, Georgia, and now lives in New York City with his wife and children. His wife sometimes appears as a traveling companion in his books.

Feiler was the guest on the November 2, 2005 episode of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report.
