I really liked this. The story of Abraham and Isaac has always troubled me, and to see how much the interpretation has varied is a breath of fresh air. The way the author grapples with the story as a story and how literature works when talking about the Bible was also really, really interesting.

Sort of rambling at times, though very informative and interesting. I liked the parts on Islam and Judaism the most, but the critique on modern Christianity was wonderful. I love Armstrong's voice - I may read more by her.
