Is the Bible Still Relevant? Conversation with Dennis Prager

Is the Bible, the most influential book in world history, still relevant? Why do people dismiss it as being irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? The Rational Bible: Deuteronomy by Dennis Prager, national radio host and bestselling author of The Rational Bible series, explains the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible, and demonstrates how it remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life.

Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will cause you to reexamine 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. In Dennis Prager’s words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.”

In this episode my co-host Len from our morning show joins me, as we talk to Dennis about the following... 

• What is unique about the book of Deuteronomy as compared to Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers?
• Why would someone who thinks the Bible is a series of religious fairy tales consider buying this commentary?
• In the book there's an essay called, “Fear of God is Morally and Psychologically Necessary.” Dennis makes the case for this. 
• Canaan was the land God promised to give the Israelites (“The Promised Land”) but the Canaanites were already living there. Did God command the Israelites to commit genocide when he commanded them to annihilate the Canaanites and take over the land?
