Secret Bible - Joseph R. Rosenbloom, Secular Hebrew Bible, Religion, Judaism, Old Testament

Secret Bible: A Secular Approach by Joseph R. Rosenbloom, a thought-provoking analysis of the Hebrew Bible from a secular perspective, argues that many of the Bibles original traditions were non-religious, explores how stories and legal codes in the Pentateuch were later infused with religious meaning, examines the shift from cultural heritage to divine narrative in the context of Jewish history, presents secular interpretations of biblical figures and laws, written by a Reform rabbi with decades of experience, makes the Bible more accessible to humanists, secular readers, and scholars, encourages critical thinking about sacred texts, highly recommended for those studying Judaism, Christianity, religion, and ancient history.
