Yoram Hazony discusses his new book The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture. In this trailer, 'I went to Princeton and majored in Japanese and was North American debate champion. I have a Ph.D. in political philosophy./nthe author offers a fresh perspective on the story of Cain & Abel. Hazony posits that Abel's legacy inspired the great leaders and thinkers who built the world we live in./nFrom the Author:/nMost people think what the Bible's all about is miracles, people talking to God in a burning bush and all sorts of supernatural things. Which is okay if you want a Big Book of Jewish Stories for when you're tired of reading Holes and Where the Wild Things Are to your kids./nBut outside religious circles, there aren't a lot of adults today who think the Bible could have something important to say to them./nMy name's Yoram Hazony. I'm an Orthodox Jew from Jerusalem. I've devoted the last twenty-five years to trying to understand why reading the Bible in a satisfying way is so incredibly hard for people to do, and what we can do to change that./nPurchase the book now:
