Hailed as one of the most original works of history in years,
America's Prophet reveals how generations of Americans have been
inspired by the story of Moses.
The pilgrims quoted his story. Franklin and Jefferson proposed
he appear on the U.S. seal. Washington and Lincoln were called his
incarnations. The Statue of Liberty and Superman were molded in his
image. Martin Luther King Jr. invoked him the night before he died.
Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama cited him as inspiration. For four
hundred years, one figure has inspired more Americans than any
other. His name is Moses.
Traveling through touchstones in American history, bestselling
author Bruce Feiler traces the biblical prophet's influence from
the Mayflower through today. Meticulously researched and highly
readable, America's Prophet is a thrilling, original work of
history that will forever change how we view America, our faith,
and our future.
