Reddit reviews The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture

I found this searching for "old testament" and I am reluctant to step into this cesspool of a sub, but the Old Testament deserves defending. Jordan Peterson doesn't seem to understand very much since he is stuck in the degeneracy of modern culture. And his followers here are typical modern scum who can't tolerate contrary viewpoints. Anyway...

The whole point of Christianity is to anthropomorphize God as much as possible, even giving God human form in Jesus. If you don't like anthropomorphizing God, then Christianity is not for you.

While the Old Testament is full of archetypes, particularly in Genesis, you can't really understand it if you are stuck with a Western perspective and philosophy. A good book explaining the fundamental concepts of the Old Testament is this:

I follow the Old Testament and I would be glad to answer any questions, but not in this cesspool where my karma is -25.

I've suggested this elsewhere before, but check out The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture by Yoram Hazony. He argues that the Bible (at least, the Hebrew Bible) is already a philosophical text. We just tend not to recognize it because of an artificial Western distinction between philosophy (which begins with the Greeks, even though Plato and Aristotle have plenty of 'religious' content) and religion (which begins with the Jews, event though there's plenty of 'philosophical' content in Judaism generally and the Bible specifically).
