Abraham on Trial: The Social Legacy of Biblical Myth Paperback - 2000
by Carol Delaney
First line
FOR CULTURES influenced by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Abraham is symbolically the first patriarch.
From the rear cover
"A strikingly original and provocative analysis of a topic that is intensely controversial and yet peculiarly conventional. Carol Delaney's combination of critical methods as well as her particular focus on the implications of the Abraham story for our understanding of kinship, gender, and reproduction are unique, and bring to our attention major common ethical problems among Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike."--Gillian Feeley-Harnik, University of Michigan
