Richard 1955- Author Abraham's Silence The Binding of Isaac, the Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God J. Richard Middleton U.S.A. Baker Academic 2021 256tr. paperback, illustrations 24cm 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?... 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.
