Expert Weighs in at Academy Town Square May 18

Bruce Feiler, a New York Times bestselling author and columnist, will give a lecture on Tuesday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Main Line Reform Temple in Wynnewood. One of America’s most popular voices on contemporary life, Feiler is justly celebrated for books that explore the import in our own lives of our culture’s foundational stories. His bestsellers Walking the Bible and Abraham thoughtfully explored our shared ancestors and engaged people of all backgrounds in open, compassionate conversation during a time of discord and fear. Now with The First Love Story: Adam, Eve and Us – his first major writing on religion in a decade – Feiler redeems history’s first couple, explains the many ways we’ve scapegoated Eve, and elevates these founding figures to their rightful place as role models for unity and forgiveness. The book recently received a rave review in the New York Times. Copies of The First Love Story: Adam, Eve and Us will be available to purchase at the event, courtesy of Children’s Book World in Haverford. The lecture and book signing is sponsored by Main Line Reform Temple, Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Beth Am Israel, Gladwyne Presbyterian Church, and Beth David Reform Congregation. Bruce Feiler writes the “This Life” column for the Sunday New York Times and is the author of six consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including Walking the Bible, Abraham, and The Secrets of Happy Families. He’s also the writer/presenter of the PBS series Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler. For information, visit www.mlrt.org.
