Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors â?? and sometimes we ourselves â?? 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.

Prager has a fresh perspective on the Bible that comes through frequently. His scholarship goes to different sources than I have access to and thus he brings both his Jewish perspective and his wide reading and thought out to the light of day. I am always benefited by reading or hearing from him. He always has a valuable contribution to give. ( )

I don't always agree with Prager's opinions, but I respect his learning and insights.
It was much easier to read the scriptures with comments on most of the verses and essays interspersed in the text.
(Reading dates approximate; read about a chapter each night for a month.) ( )
