Rendition To Books The Rational Bible: Genesis
USA Today bestsellerPublishers 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Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral.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 I write is not rational, I have not done my 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, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to you personally. His goal: to change your mind—and, as a result, to change your life.

I was gifted with this book by a good friend in Easdtern Europe who discovered after the fall of communism that both of his grandmothers were Jewish, a fact minimized by them during the reign of the anti-Semitic authorities. I was thankful, since I have enjoyed Dennis Prager (especially Prager University on YouTube) for many years, and for a time took post-graduate courses at the Jewish university he taught at (formerly The University of Judaism, in Belair, CA). I have found the book a

Very insightful verse-by-verse commentary of the first book of the Old Testament by Rabbi Prager.A few gems in the context of the stories, verses, and principles of the Book of Genesis:- Undoing God's order and distinctions is the natural state of man. The battle for higher civilization may be characterized as the battle between biblical distinctions and the human desire to undo many of those distinctions (e.g. light/dark, male/female, good/evil, life/death).
