Challenges you to go beneath the brief, shocking story and ask: who
is the tester, who is the tested and what motivates the test? 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. A story revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims, and
turned over and over by great secular thinkers searching for
meaning, this gripping tale shocks us into complete attention, then
takes us—in nineteen short verses—on a roller coaster ride of
emotion, challenge and hope. Rabbi Bradley Shavit 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 as the binding of Isaac or the test of
Abraham. He invites us to use this powerful tale as a tool for our
own soul wrestling, to transcend its words to confront our own
existential sacrifices and our ability to face—and
surmount—life's tests. By applying this tale’s lessons to
everyday events, Artson compels us to pay closer attention to our
lives and, through our priorities, responsibilities, mindfulness
and faith, ask ourselves if we are passing our own tests.
