  <about><![CDATA[Bruce Feiler 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 point of view. Some of his back catalog of books was republished in paperback after the commercial success of his Walking the Bible (2001). He hosted a television version with the same name, shown on PBS.

He is credited with formulating the Feiler Faster Thesis: 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.

Feiler completed his undergraduate degree at Yale University in the United States, before spending three years time as an assistant language teacher in the JET Programme. Upon his return he spent a year earning a taught masters degree from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
