The Philosophy Of Hebrew Scripture by Yoram Hazony
A reinterpretation of the Hebrew Bible as a work of philosophy, it argues that biblical narratives present reasoned inquiries into truth, ethics, and politics rather than mere divine commands. Through close readings of stories and laws, it highlights an epistemology grounded in experience, argument, and tradition, challenging the modern opposition between reason and revelation. It develops a political vision favoring responsible leadership, national self-determination, and limits on imperial power. Overall, it recasts Scripture as advancing coherent philosophical arguments about the good life and a just society.
