Abraham's Silence

In 'Abraham's Silence', J. Richard Middleton offers a provocative re-reading of the story of the binding of Isaac, suggesting that Abraham's silence may not have been what God desired.

Instead, Middleton argues that God welcomes vigorous prayer and lament, as seen in the book of Job and the lament psalms.

This book challenges traditional interpretations and encourages a more dynamic, dialogue-driven relationship with God.
