The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture

An Introduction
Book • 2012
In *The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture*, Yoram Hazony challenges the traditional dichotomy between reason and revelation by presenting the Hebrew Bible as a philosophical text.

He argues that the biblical authors used narrative and prophetic oratory to advance universal arguments about morals, politics, and truth.

This book offers a new framework for understanding the Bible as a work of philosophy, comparable to the works of Plato or Socrates.
