Book Description
The Bibles great Faith Hall of Fame in Hebrews chapter 11 honours Abel, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham as outstanding examples of faith and identifies the acts that qualified them for this prestigious list. Then we read, By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future (Hebrews 11:20). Merely speaking a blessing? How does this act rate alongside Noahs building the ark or Abrahams leaving his country? And thereby, believes Henderson, hangs a tale. The first half of the book, By Faith Isaac, explores Abrahams faith journey and listens in to conversations between Abraham and Isaac as Abraham carefully passes on the faith lessons he has learned. When Abraham faces his greatest faith test, the sacrifice of his son, Isaac embarks on his own faith journey. After marrying Rebekah, Isaac has to learn a new lesson of faithone which his forefathers had not had to deal with. Whether you love the Old Testament or struggle to read it, By Faith Isaac educates as it entertains, and at times borders on being devotional.

Book Description
It is traditional to think we should praise Abraham for his willingness to sacrifice his son as proof of his love for God. But have we misread the point of the story? Is it possible that a careful reading of Genesis 22 could reveal that God was not pleased with Abraham's silent obedience? Widely respected biblical theologian, creative thinker, and public speaker J. Richard Middleton suggests we have misread and misapplied the story of the binding of Isaac and shows that God desires something other than silent obedience in difficult times. Middleton focuses on the ethical and theological problem of Abraham's silence and explores the rich biblical tradition of vigorous prayer, including the lament psalms, as a resource for faith. Middleton also examines the book of Job in terms of God validating Job's lament as "right speech," showing how the vocal Job provides an alternative to the silent Abraham. This book provides a fresh interpretation of Genesis 22 and reinforces the church's resurgent interest in lament as an appropriate response to God.

Book Description
Eric was just a regular guy. He'd had ups and downs in life and spirituality. Flawed but not so much that you'd know it from the outside. The obvious cracks in his armor-single, divorced dad, living with his fiancée-were low-hanging fruit, and of course they didn't look great. His family and friends know him as a man that had been brought up in church though and knew who God was. Even though his life had taken twists and turns to and from his faith, he'd always held on to his core beliefs. On a cold night in November, he found himself in the company of a mixed group of strangers and in the unenviable position of explaining his life and faith (as twisted as both of those seemed to be) to their skeptical ears. Sit in on the improbable but captivating details of that night and how Eric ended up in that home on the north side of Chicago.

Book Description
Traditional interpretations in both Judaism and Christianity argue that the Akedah presents not only an ethical question but also an ethical reply. But for the intervention of the angel, Abraham would have killed his son. Obedience to God take precedence over morality as humanly conceived. Yet, the angel of YHWH that appears to Abraham is a later addition to the text; thus, in the original narrative Abraham actually disobeys the divine command to slay his son, and sacrifices a ram instead. The first part of the book shows how the "original" version of the narrative did not contain the angelic figure. The second part of the book re-examines various religious interpretations of the text to show that exegetes such as Maimonides and his followers did point out Abraham's disobedience. According to these writers the esoteric layer of the story in fact declares that disobedience to God's command was Abraham's true affirmation of faith. In the third part of the book, Boehm re-opens the philosophical debate between Kant and Kierkegaard. Boehm concludes the book by contending that the monotheistic model of faith presented by Abraham was actually a model of disobedience.
