The Hebrew Bible, a profound testament, presents a philosophical perspective that resonates with the insights of ancient philosopher Plato. Abraham, the revered first biblical philosopher, emerges as a voice that echoes Plato's call to the world, speaking in the name of God. Like Plato, Abraham critiques pagan thought, particularly regarding the treatment of individuals.

Following in his footsteps, Moses, the subsequent recipient of the baton, elucidates the practical implications of the Bible's fundamental anthropological teachings. In his book "Persons and Other Things," Mark Glouberman delves into the philosophy of the Bible, offering a robust defense while exploring how individuals who identify with the biblical portrayal conduct their personal lives, establish social connections, and interact with the natural world.

"Persons and Other Things" also serves as Glouberman's personal testament, sharing the lessons he has acquired throughout his lifelong journey as a philosopher, writer, and student of philosophers. He offers valuable insights into the art of philosophical thinking, the craft of philosophical writing, and the profound thinkers who have shaped the field. Through his thoughtful and engaging exploration, Glouberman invites readers to embark on a journey of intellectual discovery and reflection, fostering a deeper understanding of the philosophical dimensions of the Hebrew Bible and its enduring significance.
