This anthology on Eve brings together an international group of
scholars to discuss how this character has been interpreted by
Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In a time when the history of
women is being reassessed, it is natural that women look to the
paradigmatic female figure. This treatment of Eve covers her wide
range of roles as mother of our race, victim, stooge, wife,
companion, independent thinker, and "helper". A venerated figure by
many modern feminists and a denigrated figure by those who blame
her for original sin, no reader will leave these pages indifferent
to the first woman.
Unbinding the Binding of Isaac is an anthology of three faiths'
interpretations of the Genesis 22:1-19 story. The various exegeses
of this story have been mined by the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian
faiths for a protracted period of time. The "Aqedah," as the
binding story is known universally, stimulates the interests and
imaginations of theologians, linguists, poets, historians, and
artists of various skills and stripes. The Aqedah continues to
stimulate inquiry and application to modern situations. Unbinding
the Binding of Isaac is at once ancient and modern in its scope,
purpose, and relevance to scholarly inquiry regarding this ongoing
debate.
