AlbakiReads Editorial

A reason-based reading of Exodus

Dennis Prager’s commentary on Exodus frames the biblical text as a subject for rational inquiry, asking how its teachings relate to questions that remain relevant today. The description highlights issues including the Bible’s relationship to slavery, obligations toward parents, belief in God, and the grounds on which the text is considered relevant or moral. Prager presents his approach as one that does not ask readers to accept claims on faith alone, and draws on decades of teaching the Bible to people of different faiths and no faith. The book combines discussion of Exodus with contemporary ethical and philosophical questions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a commentary on the biblical Book of Exodus.
  • Readers interested in reason-based discussion of biblical teachings and contemporary questions.
  • Readers exploring biblical interpretation from a perspective presented as accessible across faith backgrounds.

Book overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"Dennis Prager has put together one of the most stunning commentaries in modern times on the most profound document in human history. It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." -- Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show"

"Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time--and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." -- Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy

Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors - and sometimes we ourselves - dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought.

Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book.

Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book.

Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is "irrational?" This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts.

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. As Prager says, "If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job."

The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life.

His goal: to change your mind - and then change your life.
