"The Hebrew Bible is a philosophical testament. Abraham, the first biblical philosopher,
calls out to the world in God's name exactly as Plato calls out in the name of the
Forms. Abraham comes forward as a critic of pagan thought about, specifically, persons.
Moses, to whom the baton is passed, spells out the practical implications of the Bible's
core anthropological teachings. In Persons and Other Things Mark Glouberman explores
the Bible's philosophy, roughing out in the course of a defence of it how men and
women who see themselves in the biblical portrayal (as he argues that most of us do
once the "religious" glare is reduced) are committed to conduct their personal affairs,
arrange their social ties, and act in the natural world. Persons and Other Things
is also the author's testament about the practice of philosophy. Glouberman sets out,
and in the chapters that pursue the theme he puts into practice, the lessons he has
acquired as a lifelong learner about thinking philosophically, about writing philosophy,
and about philosophers. Persons and Other Things looks closely at the Bible as a philosophical
work, asking insightful questions about how to interpret the Hebrew Bible, what it
means to be Jewish, and how to live a meaningful and moral life."
