Unbinding Isaac

Aaron Koller

Description

“The book is a pleasure to read, but no less learned for that. There is great depth of learning on show here, but Koller manages somehow to wear that learning relatively lightly—an impressive feat.” —DANIEL RYNHOLD,professor of modern Jewish philosophy, Yeshiva Universiy “One would have thought that centuries of dissecting tweny-odd verses of Genesis from every perspective imaginable have exhausted their meaning. Yet Koller, with his erudite grasp of both biblical literature and the longue durée of the Jewish interpretive tradition, unbinds the Akedah to reveal its philosophical and theological grandeur. As he unravels it, he wrests it from the grip of the dominant and dangerous interpretation that faith justiies violence and redirects our attention to the message that resounds in God’s warning to Abraham: ‘Do not lay a hand on the boy!’” —JAMES A. DIAMOND, Josephand Wolf Lebovic Chair of Jewish Studies, Universiy of Waterloo “Aaron Koller leads his readers on a journey through a stunningly wide range of material—ancient, medieval, and modern; Jewish and Christian; Hasidic, Misnagdic, and secular; some scholarly, some poetic, some dug up by archaeologists—without ever losing focus or clariy. Wearing his massive learning lightly, he helps readers learn from these sources even as he shows them how to critique them on ethical and intellectual levels.
