The Rational Bible: Numbers

God and Man in the Wilderness

De: Dennis Prager

Narrado por: Tom Parks

If you think the Bible is irrelevant, irrational, or even, at times, immoral—and you have an open mind—The Rational Bible will change your mind and influence your outlook on life.

You will come to understand why the Bible and especially its first five books, the Torah, are the most influential books ever written. Equally important, you will understand how they apply to your life.

The Rational Bible, Dennis Prager’s commentary and explanation of these five books—rooted in his expertise in biblical Hebrew and its grammar—is widely considered the most important modern Bible commentary. Read the thousands of reviews on Amazon—written by people of many faiths and of no faith—and you will appreciate why this is so.

The Book of Numbers—“In the Wilderness” in the original Hebrew—is the fourth book of the Bible. Among the many compelling issues addressed in this volume are the following:

• Doubting God.
• What produces faith—miracles or effort? And if effort, what efforts work?
• Arguing with God.
• Ingratitude as a source of evil.
• Why only men could be priests.
• Why the conscience is not morally reliable.
• Is fanaticism ever justified?
• Is there luck in life, or is everything determined by God’s will?

The title of this five-volume commentary is The Rational Bible because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader 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.”

Few people alive today have influenced as many people as has Dennis Prager. In the words of the website, Powerline, “Dennis Prager is probably the foremost public intellectual of our time.” Read The Rational Bible and you will understand why.

Great commentary.

I like the depth of background he brings to each verse. his background as a Jew verse in the Torah brings the Bible to life.

Rational and easy to understand

The was little not understand. The commentary was precise. You were able to understand exactly what was being said or thought at a time such as 3000 years ago and why we have reached where we are today or not for these odds, we would not exist.

faith in God, love of family and to study the tora.

I wish I had started to study sooner. thank you for being me and my family closer to God.

Great insight of the book of Numbers

Dennis Prager has a wonderful way of presenting the book of Numbers in a refreshing new approach. I am never disappointed when I I listen to his rational series.

So many great details

The clear explanations are wonderful and refreshing. Can’t wait for the next book. Thank you
