Interpreting Abraham: Journeys to Moriah
()
About this ebook
This collection of essays takes up the question of how our interpretation of this pivotal text has changed over time, and how, even in unlikely intellectual places, the story influences our thought.
It begins by exploring various readings of Abraham and the Akedah story throughout the traditional lenses of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. From there, it moves into modern and postmodern readings, including how such varied thinkers as Kant and Kierkegaard, Kafka and Derrida have enaged the text.
The book demonstrates the diversity of interpretations, and the dramatic impact of the story on the western intellectual tradition.
