The sacrifice Isaac offered
Commentary
Without question the story of "The Sacrifice of Isaac" is one of the most horrific in the whole Bible. Through the centuries, readers have been almost morbidly drawn to this spectacle. Painters such as Rembrandt have found here the subject for some of the most powerful and haunting images in all of Western art. The story as been analyzed by theologians, philosophers, psychologists and hosts of others, including just ordinary folk, for insight into the complexities of the relationship between the human and the divine.
