The Humanism of the First Version of the Hebrew Bible

There used to be a version of the Hebrew Bible where God was not the hero, and I have dedicated my scholarly life to uncovering it. Join me for this romp through history as we explore the reasons for the religification of our first book of legends and wisdom.

Join Rabbi Tzemah Yoreh as he dives into his biblical research, made accessible in his new book, Why Abraham Murdered Isaac: The First Stories of the Bible Revealed.
