Book Study-Prager's Rational Bible

[Dana]

Actually, now that I think about it maybe we should start with Exodus. That is where Prager started, and there is probably a reason for it.

Yes, there actually is a reason and he states it in the introduction of Exodus. "The primary reason I began my commentary with the second book of the Torah, Exodus, and not the first, Genesis, is that Exodus contains the Ten Commandments, the most important moral code in world history, and the central moral code of the Torah. If people lived by those ten laws alone, the world would be almost devoid of all man-made suffering."
