Abraham in Early Jewish Tradition

Abraham is a hugely important figure in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but the scriptural narratives about his life raise questions for readers old and new, not least about his readiness to sacrifice his own son. This session will consider some early Jewish explanations of these theologically problematic passages, and ask whether these hold any lessons for modern biblical interpreters.
