Episode description

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? Richard Middleton provides a fresh interpretation of Genesis 22 and reinforces the church's resurgent interest in lament as an appropriate response to God. Belief in God doesn’t mean you’re forced to say what you think God wants you to say. God can and wants to hear your raw and honest requests. 📖 Purchase* your copy of Abraham's Silence The Binding of Isaac, the Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God - https://amzn.to/36aoKRS
