The Rational Bible: Exodus + Haggadah + Deuteronomy
Books Included in this Bundle:
Rational Bible Exodus
Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated?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.
Rational Passover: Haggadah
Why did God save the Jews in Egypt but not the millions of Jews who died in Europe? Was there really an Exodus? Does Judaism affirm an afterlife? Does reason? These and many other major questions are answered in Dennis Prager's The Rational Passover Haggadah.
Dennis Prager's five-volume The Rational Bible commentary on the Torah, widely considered one of the most important Bible commentaries ever written, was the #1 bestselling nonfiction book in America on the day of its publication—a rare achievement for a Bible commentary. Like The Rational Bible, The Rational Passover Haggadah relies on reason to explain the text. Therefore, it is as relevant and illuminating to non-Jews as to Jews, to atheists as to believers, and to secular Jews as to religious Jews. One need not attend a Seder to benefit from the many powerful insights offered. It could—and ought to—be read any time of the year. The table of contents lists the great variety of essays and topics for discussion that address some of the most important issues in life. The nearly two-thousand-year-old Haggadah has inspired millions around the world every year to learn about and relive one of the most famous stories of all time: the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt.
Rational Bible: Deuteronomy
Is the Bible, the most influential book in world history, still relevant?
Why do people dismiss it as being irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible, will demonstrate how it remains profoundly relevant – both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will cause you to reexamine your doubts. The title of this commentary is The Rational Bible because its approach is entirely reason-based. The listener 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 Prager's forty years of teaching to people of every faith and no faith at all. In virtually every section, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to you on a personal level.
