Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral.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 relevantâboth 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 wonât 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 âThe Rational Bibleâ because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Pragerâs words, âIf something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.â
The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Pragerâs forty years of teaching the Bibleâwhose Hebrew grammar and vocabulary he has masteredâto 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 mindâand, as a result, to change your life.
