Synopsis
Abraham on Trial questions the foundations of faith that have made a virtue out of the willingness to sacrifice a child. Through his desire to obey God at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing his son, Abraham became the definitive model of faith for the major world religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In this bold look at the legacy of this biblical and qur'anic story, Carol Delaney explores how the sacrifice rather than the protection of children became the focus of faith, to the point where the abuse and betrayal of children has today become widespread and sometimes institutionalized. Her strikingly original analysis also offers a new perspective on what unites and divides the peoples of the sibling religions derived from Abraham and, implicitly, a way to overcome the increasing violence among them. Delaney critically examines evidence from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interpretations, from archaeology and Freudian theory, as well as a recent trial in which a father sacrificed his child in obedience to God's voice, and shows how the meaning of Abraham's story is bound up with a specific notion of fatherhood. The preeminence of the father (which is part of the meaning of the name Abraham) comes from the still operative theory of procreation in which men transmit life by means of their "seed," an image that encapsulates the generative, creative power that symbolically allies men with God. The communities of faith argue interminably about who is the true seed of Abraham, who can claim the patrimony, but until now, no one has asked what is this seed. Kinship and origin myths, the cultural construction of fatherhood and motherhood, suspicions of actual child sacrifices in ancient times, and a revisiting of Freud's Oedipus complex all contribute to Delaney's remarkably rich discussion. She shows how the story of Abraham legitimates a hierarchical structure of authority, a specific form of family, definitions of gender, and the value of obedience that have become the bedrock of society. The question she leaves us with is whether we should perpetuate this story and the lessons it teaches., Abraham on Trial questions the foundations of faith that have made a virtue out of the willingness to sacrifice a child.

- 7***j (801)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.SIGNED Concise History of Nauvoo Illinois E. Keith Howick LDS Mormon (Nr. 223720839529)
- c***r (558)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufMost importantly, the condition of the book was as specified. Also, international delivery (from the USA to the UK) was prompt, and the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. Many thanks for that. In particular, *very* effective cardboard *and* cellophane packaging was used to protect the book during its international transit. This meant the book arrived safe and in great condition, with no "dings" or bends. As such, I *highly* recommend this seller (1-highbidder/Yesterdaze Closet).
- i***s (140)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI can't rate this seller highly enough. They were earnest to stick to shipping times promised but realized the product they had was not what was not the quality pictured, so they messaged me ahead of time with solutions (full refund, return the original and get a new item or keep what was sent with a partial refund.) I chose the full refund/new item - it came quickly and packaged so well! I appreciate also that they use recycled items for packaging. Thanks for a great eBay shopping experience.Making Sense of the Doctrine & Covenants Modern Revelations 1st Ed HCDJ LDS (Nr. 224507875459)
