| Summary |
"Unbinding Isaac assembles multiple strands of thought and modern knowledge of ancient human sacrifice to offer an original reading of the Akedah. God would like to want child sacrifice-a remarkable display of devotion-but moreso does not want child sacrifice. An authentically religious act cannot be done through the harm of another human being"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Contents |
Jewish experiences of the Akedah -- 2. Kierkegaard -- 3. Jewish parallels from the century of Kierkegaard -- 4. Jewish followers from the twentieth century -- 5. Criticizing Kierkegaard -- 6. On child sacrifice -- 7. Maimonides and the complexity of the Divine Will -- 8. Rejecting child sacrifice -- The demands of God and people. |
