The Rational Bible: Genesis by Dennis Prager
USA Today bestseller · Publishers Weekly bestseller · Wall Street Journal bestseller
Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational and even immoral. This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible remains profoundly relevant, both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. It is the greatest moral guide and source of wisdom ever written.
Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will give you many reasons to rethink your doubts. Do you think faith and science are in conflict? You won't after reading this commentary on Genesis. Do you come from a dysfunctional family? It may comfort you to know that every family discussed in Genesis was highly dysfunctional.
The title of this commentary is The Rational Bible because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Prager's words, if something he writes is not rational, he has not done his job.
The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible, whose Hebrew grammar and vocabulary he has mastered, to people of every faith and no faith at all. On virtually every page, readers discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to them personally.
