SynopsisNATIONAL 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author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated?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., Thirty years in the making, Dennis Prager's The Rational Bible: Exodus takes readers on a transformative, verse-by-verse journey through the book of Exodus with rich new insights into the reason, relevance, and renewing power of the Bible. Both dazzling in scope and meticulous in detail, The Rational Bible: Exodus nimbly connects the ancient story of how God freed the Israelites to modern world history while simultaneously bringing readers into a deeper personal understanding of the life-changing lessons in Exodus. Prager, a bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host, has lectured in churches and synagogues around the world on Biblical stories, values, and applications. Described by New York's Jewish Life as "one of the three most interesting minds in American Jewish Life," Prager taught the first five books of the Hebrew Bible at the American Jewish University for more than twenty-five years. His renowned lectures on the Ten Commandments have over 8 million views online. The Los Angeles Times calls Prager "an amazingly gifted man and moralist whose mission in life has been crystalized--to get people obsessed with what is right and wrong." The Rational Bible: Exodus is the first release from Prager's multi-volume Rational Bible series, which draws from Prager's thirty years of studies and lectures. He considers the work his "Magnum Opus."

  • Dennis Prager's light shines through.

    Having formed a personal acquaintance with Dennis over the past year by being a member of his Toran Minyan, I've come to see his aura and it is that of a bright light. This commentary, which I've not yet finished, brings his insights to life for me. After having listened to him on radio for well nigh 40 years, as I read I can hear his trope, his syntax, I can hear the words in my mind in his voice. Having the blessing of meeting with him at worship services makes me a bit biased too, this I acknowledge, but this commentary is allowing me to hear that voice every day speaking about Torah and Ethical Monotheism. The structure of his commentary is unlike any I've seen before, the use of bold letters for the actual Torah interpretation is brilliant and having his commentaries adjacent to the Torah makes each verse show its wisdom. The Torah, a book of wisdom from bronze age nomads, has to bear the marks of GD because it has borne the test of time. As Rabbi Mizrachi states, there are no errors in Torah.

  • This book is "dense" in the best way possible

    Sitting at the feet of Dennis Prager is a privilege, on any subject, but learning the second book of Torah from him is pure joy. I'm a Christian who has been studying and teaching the Bible for years, but there is so much here from a fresh perspective. His commentary on Genesis is also a blessing.

  • Great Bible Study right in your hands

    Exodus: The Rational Bible is eye-opening. Dennis Prager does a very good explanation of the verses and makes you stop and think of the very words you just read. It is an extremely thorough Bible study right in your own home where you can take time to enjoy and think everything through. His explanations are not confusing. I highly recommend reading for a further understanding of why we are.
