The Rational Bible: Deuteronomy is available for preorder
The Most Important Book of Our Time about the Most Important Book of All Time. Many people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral.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 Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true. The Bible is profoundly relevant—both to the greatest social questions throughout history and to every individual’s life. It is the greatest source of wisdom and the best moral guide ever written.
The Rational Bible is the fruit of Prager’s forty years of teaching to 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 on a personal level. His goal: to change your mind—and, as a result, to change your life.

“has an astonishing ability to state simple truths we hadn’t heard articulated before, at least not so clearly, in a way that makes their truthfulness immediately and powerfully obvious.” — The Wall Street Journal
“[is] an amazingly gifted man and moralist whose mission in life has been crystallized – ‘to get people obsessed with what is right and wrong.’” — The Los Angeles Times
Let’s get everyone in America talking about the Bible.
What The Rational Bible says about…
How to make good people:
“Telling people to be good without giving them specific directions on how to be good is as useless as telling a person, ‘Be a good pilot,’ without giving the person flying lessons.”
Not hating enemies:
“Despite centuries of Egyptian oppression, one of the Torah’s 613 laws prohibits hating Egyptians.”
Honoring our parents:
“The Torah commands us to love God, to love our neighbor, and to love the stranger. But, in a particularly compelling example of the Torah’s psychological sophistication, it does not command us to love our parents. . . . The moral success of a society does not depend on children loving parents; it does depend on children honoring their parents.”
