In this book Itzhak Benyamini presents an alternative reading of
Genesis, a close textual analysis from the story of creation to the
binding of Isaac. This reading offers the possibility of a soft
relation to God, not one characterized by fear and awe. The volume
presents Don-Abraham-Quixote not as a perpetual knight of faith but
as a cunning believer in the face of God's demands of him.
Benyamini reads Genesis without making concessions to God, asking
about Him before He examines the heart of Adam, Noah, Abraham, and
the other knights of faith (if they are really that). In this way,
the commentary on Genesis becomes a platform for a new type of
critical theology. Through this unconventional rereading of the
familiar biblical text, the book attempts to extract a different
ethic, one that challenges the Kierkegaardian demand of blind faith
in an all-knowing moral God and offers in its stead an alternative,
everyday ethic. The ethic that Benyamini uncovers is characterized
by family continuity and tradition intended to ensure that very
axis-familial permanence and resilience in the face of the
demanding and capricious law of God and the everyday hardships of
life.
