The Sacrifice of Isaac is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. It is also a shocking account of how Abrahams faith in God was demonstrated by a willingness to sacrifice his long-awaited son at Gods command. This story has been a source of fascination for Jews and Christians for many centuries and Edward Kessler offers an enthralling account of their interpretations, explaining that neither can be understood properly without reference to the other. Compelling and convincing, this book makes a valuable contribution to the field.
