Dennis Prager explains his Rational Bible series on the Torah's five books, each challenging in different ways. Leviticus contains the command to love your neighbor as yourself and the verse that inspired the Liberty Bell. Prager argues America was founded on biblical principles and warns the nation is losing them.
I am frequently asked, so which of the 5 books— Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy— was the hardest? And the most honest answer I can give is whichever one I'm working on at that time is the hardest. They're all hard, which is why it's so important that people read what I wrote in The Rational Bible. Because I'm making hard texts understandable. Not just understandable, but relevant. If you like this program, you will love The Rational Bible. 3 volumes are out, 4th is coming out this year, and then, God willing, Leviticus. From where you get, by the way, love your neighbor as yourself. Leviticus is tough going because it's filled with sacrificial laws and laws of purity and impurity. It's also where you have love your neighbor as yourself. It's also where you have the one verse, the one statement, the one anything on the Liberty Bell. It's from Leviticus. You shall proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all its inhabitants. There would be no America where there are no Bible. We don't have a Bible now as operative, and we're losing America.
