Mark Gerson's New Book "God Was Right" Bridges Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

Author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Mark Gerson releases his highly anticipated new book, God Was Right: How Modern Social Science Proves the Torah Is True. In this provocative and deeply researched work, Gerson bridges the worlds of ancient Scripture and modern science, demonstrating how timeless wisdom from the Torah is continually affirmed by the latest findings in social science, psychology, and behavioral studies.

Rather than treating the Torah as a purely religious or historical document, Gerson explores its practical relevance to life today. Through chapters that touch on relationships, time management, personal development, parenting, leadership, and societal values, Gerson presents the Torah as a toolkit for human flourishing. Each principle from the biblical text is brought into conversation with empirical studies and real-world data-arguing that, time and again, "God was right."

"This is not a book just for religious readers," says Gerson. "It's a book for anyone seeking insight, guidance, and clarity from the oldest source of wisdom humanity possesses-and it turns out that modern science is only now catching up."

Key themes in the book include:

• How Torah teachings on gratitude and giving enhance long-term happiness

• Why biblical practices surrounding rest and Sabbath align with neurological health

• What social science says about confession, repentance, and forgiveness

• How ancient instructions on parenting, mentoring, and education shape resilient lives

• The Torah's unexpected relevance to leadership, conflict resolution, and community cohesion

In his signature style-curious, passionate, and accessible-Gerson invites readers into a dialogue between Scripture and science. The result is a compelling case that the wisdom of the Torah is not just spiritually profound but psychologically sound, sociologically insightful, and surprisingly modern.

God Was Right is now available in hardcover and e-book formats wherever books are sold.
