In his The Pilgrim's New Guide to the Holy Land, second edition, Father Doyle writes from the perspective that there are major differences between visiting the Holy Land as a pilgrim and as a tourist, or even as a student of history or archaeology. While providing basic information about the sacred places, he focuses on how a pilgrim may experience a renewal of faith that is enriched by prayerful attention to the Bible and to worship.
Stephen C. Doyle, O.F.M., has guided more than one hundred pilgrimages to the Holy Land and to Greece and Asia Minor. He has taught Scripture and biblical preaching at St. John Vianney Seminary, East Aurora, New York; Christ the King Seminary, St. Bonaventure, New York; Pope John XXIII Seminary, Weston Massachusetts; St. Bonaventure University; St. Michael's College; and Emmanuel College.
