The Ne Old Testament [Hardcover]

The New Old Testament recasts the most memorable accounts from Genesis, the first of the five books of Moses, telling them from the perspective of reason. Cary J. Stegman, MD, approaches these freshly rendered narratives from the point of view of one who has witnessed the powers of the human mind to think through the obstacles raised by incredibly complex medical conditions and to devise solutions based upon rational thought rather than unthinking acceptance of current circumstances.

By adopting this approach to rendering these seminal and formative stories from the biblical account, The New Old Testament presents God as one who is fundamentally reason and who desires his creatures to appreciate him for that basic quality and to live in accordance with that quality.

The author believes that The New Old Testament will succeed if reading it causes you to tap into the bedrock of your nature--reason--and to think critically about the issues these stories raise. Then, as you set aside your reading and go about your daily living, the influence of The New Old Testament will bear fruit as you approach your decision-making, both personally and socially, on the principles of reason rather than unthinking acceptance of past approaches.
