Most of the world follows religions that are called ‘Abrahamic’: Islam, Judaism and Christianity. All named after one ancient man, Abraham. But what exactly was the faith of this man? Why does the Bible call him the Man of Faith? The Friend of God? The Father of all who believe?
The climax of this man’s life of faith was when God tested him, commanding Abraham to kill his own son Isaac. This has proven to be one of the most controversial religious stories in history. So what exactly was the meaning behind it? Is the God of the Bible just a bloodthirsty tyrant, demanding the sacrifice of beloved children, or is it all much deeper and much more profound than that? Is it actually an invitation into the deepest intimacy with a most loving Creator? And could it be a mere enactment of a much great sacrifice a Father would make of his own Son 2000 years later?
God Tested Abraham looks to be a definitive Biblical perspective on the faith and significance of Abraham. An accessible read for anyone, it develops a multi-faceted exploration of all the Biblical information to present a holistic understanding of some of the most fundamental Biblical theology. Whether you are a veteran of the Scriptures, or first wrestling with these questions, you will find this book an engaging and informative read.
