The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture by Yoram Hazony

Part 1 consists of three chapters in which Hazony makes his case for reading the Bible philosophically. He contrasts it to reading the Bible as revelation. The five chapters in Part 2 each examine a different philosophical topic (ethics, political philosophy, epistemology, metaphysics, faith and reason) through the lens of a different biblical passage. Cain and Abel (Genesis 4), Abraham (Genesis 22), and Joseph (Genesis 37–50) are among the passages he engages, as well as selections from the prophets. Hazony claims that the Bible’s authors intended their writing to be a form of philosophical reflection, and that revelation language (e.g., “Thus says the LORD”) should not be taken literally or seriously. Rather, as in many ancient philosophical works, narrative serves as a vehicle to carry the philosophical message.
