Résumé
At a time when conflicts among three of the world's major religions - Islam, Judaism, and Christianity - are in the global spotlight, the author presents a biography of the one man who unites them: Abraham. Tellingly, the story of… the sacrifice of Isaac plays a pivotal role in key holidays of all three faiths, and yet they can't agree on which son Abraham tried to kill. Abraham is revealed as an historically elusive man who embodies three religions, and as a character who has shape-shifted over the millennia to serve the clashing goals and dogma of each one. 2002.
