商品簡介
How can we live richer lives through contemplating God's merciless demand, the horror of Abraham's test, the faith of Isaac's participation and see our own opportunity to grow by reliving the encounter? Among stories so terrible they rend our hearts, so profound they touch the depths of our souls, and so exalted they reach to heaven, none is more poignant than the Bible story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son, Isaac. Revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims, turned over and over by great secular thinkers searching for meaning, this gripping tale shocks us into complete attention, then takes us in fourteen short verses on a roller coaster ride of emotion, challenge and hope.
Brad Artson, known widely for making the Hebrew Bible relevant to our lives, draws on generations of Jewish sages, philosophers and scholars to explore this ancient story, known by Jews as the binding of Isaac and often referred to in English as the test of Abraham.
