Faith in a hidden God: Luther, Kierkegaard, and the binding of Isaac

The story of the binding of Isaac both challenges and inspires people who seek to live faithfully in relationship with a God who surpasses our understanding.

Combinding the history of exegesis with a theological exploration of the meaning of faith in the face of suffering, this book examines Luther's and Kierkegaard's lively - and very different - interpretations of Genesis 22 to demonstrate how the way we read the Bible is crucial to the life of faith.
