Richard Middleton  aU.S.A.  bBaker Academic  c2021  a256tr.  bpaperback, illustrations  c24cm  aIt 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?... 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.  aChristian Life -- Prayer  aJob (Biblical figure)  aBible -- Genesis -- Commentaries  aSacrifice -- Biblical teaching4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13602/a.jpgyCover Image
