The most important words ever written are the Ten Commandments. These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. They are the foundation stones of Western civilization. Given their staggering importance, you would think that all societies, and certainly our educational and religious institutions, would be intent on studying them closely. Sadly, this is not the case.

When you ask people about their most cherished values in life, "happiness" is always at the top of the list. But surprisingly few people claim real happiness. We seem to be completely satisfied with nothing, and indeed, there is little correlation between the circumstances of people's lives and how happy they are.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 335
In this visionary book, Dennis Prager, one of America's most original thinkers, contends that humanity confronts a monumental choice. The world must decide between American values and its two oppositional alternatives: Islamism and European-style democratic socialism. Prager makes the case for the American value system as the most viable program ever devised to produce a good society. Those values are explained here more clearly and persuasively than ever before.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 113
In this seminal work that has spent more than 30 years in print, Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin explain the reasons behind anti-Semitism, the world's preoccupation with the Jews and Israel, and why now more than ever the world needs to confront anti-Jewish sentiment. Prager and Telushkin examine in detail how anti-Semitism is a unique hatred - no other prejudice has been as universal, deep, or permanent - and how the concept of the "chosen people" spawned that hatred.

New York Times best-selling author David Horowitz exposes not only the progressive war against Christianity but also a war against America and its founding principles - which are Christian in their origin. Dark Agenda is about an embattled religion, but, most of all, it is about our imperiled nation. Tackling a broad range of issues from prayer in the schools to the globalist mindset, Horowitz traces the anti-Christian movement to its roots in communism.

Publisher's Summary
The continuation of Dennis Prager's bestselling five-part commentary, The Rational Bible.
Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated?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 Genesis, the first book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today’s issues, but completely consistent with rational thought.

Fantastic commentary...and I'm Christian
I have listened to Dennis Prager for 30 years, bought one of his books, and have seen him grow in his acceptance of Christians. I've always respected his logical and moral sensibilities and Bible knowledge, so when I heard he had written two commentaries on the Torah, I was I was immediately interested.
I was not disappointed. He brought many insights to Genesis from Jewish tradition to my attention. Most of it fit perfectly with my own understanding of ancient history and Judaism, but added more color and historical context that I hadn't yet appreciated.
I would love to see Dennis accept the messiahship of Jesus Christ someday. But at least I know Christians have a true ally in Dennis Prager in defending ethical monotheism from the increasingly nasty attacks from athists/secularists.

So glad I bought this!
Tom Parks did a fine job narrating “The Rational Bible: Genesis” by Dennis Prager. As usual, Dennis does not disappoint! I liked this so much that I purchased “The Rational Bible: Exodus”. As I Christian, I found his Jewish thought to be informative and inspiring; also, I greatly appreciated his observations about Christian thought regarding this book of the Torah. I listened to it almost nonstop myself, and I am going through it one chapter at a time with my youngest son.

Dennis Prager does it again.
I thoroughly enjoy this book series. While I've read the Old Testament, Prager adds invaluable information and I cannot wait to see the other books in the Old Testament to get this treatment and add value to the scriptures.

Great insight from Jewish perspective
Heard author on Fox and Friends and seemed well versed. Went deep into most of stories in Genesis and gave Hebrew words which in in some changes the story as relayed in Christian bibles. Always been under impression Joseph brothers sold him into slavery and Dennis’ analysis showed they threw him in pit and others retrieved Joseph and did the selling. Good outline and recommend for Jews and Christians alike

I had no idea that Peniel(in Hebrew) = Face of God (Genisis 32:30)
It cant be a coincidence that the Pineal (slighlty different spelling but same pronunciation) gland is a dream center of brain. Mind blown.
Otherwise, great book, very informative, and id definitely reccomend to others.

A strong sense that i will listen to this book a couple of more times in the coming years.
The book gives rational explanations on some of the questions lurking in my mind while reading the bible.
For example, the creation story mentioned twice at the beginning of the bible, how to understand it chronologically when the bible doesn’t provide a clear answer.
The book is very dense based on my current understanding of the biblical history, although the first read through gave me the perspectives I was looking for, I can sense that a few more readings are required to fully understand the author’s view.
Thus the book can continue to offer great value to me as long as I can keep the effort of developing my own understanding of the bible.
It will be good if I can read it a couple of more times in the coming years, and to compare my findings.
