Cesta ke kořenům náboženství Úvahy o Bohu, víře a náboženství spojuje autor s popisem zážitků ze své cesty po kulturních památkách Středního východu. Archeologická, historická a kulturní zvědavost dohnala autora k často velice nebezpečné cestě napříč Středním východem. Americký rozhlasový komentátor a zpravodaj Bruce Feiler se rozhodl navštívit místa spjatá s biblickými příběhy, ale také s náboženskými a válečnými konflikty - Izrael, Irák a Írán. Při svém putování si všímal kulturních památek, kde se snoubí minulost s přítomností, vztahu lidí k náboženství a víře. Snažil se pochopit nejasnou roli Boha v životě, toho Boha, kvůli kterému se vedou války. Zážitky z cest se střídají s úvahami o Bohu, víře a náboženství. Autor cituje Bibli a zamýšlí se nad jednotlivými hrdiny a příběhy. Text je poznamenán atmosférou náboženských konfliktů počátku 21. století (situací po teroristickém útoku 11. září 2001, arabsko-židovským konfliktem, vojenským tažením proti Saddámu Husajnovi v Iráku, íránskou studenou válkou se Západem).
