Examines the origins of the deicide accusation, the claim that the Jews killed Jesus, which has always been the main antisemitic cliché. Although St. Paul, who made the sacrifice of God's son a centerpoint of the new religion, can be regarded as the inventor of Christian antisemitism, he did not level the accusation of deicide against the Jews. Argues that it was the authors of the Synoptic Gospels, who wanted both to placate the Roman rulers by diverting the guilt from them and to dissociate themselves from Jewish nationalism after 70 CE, who accused the Jews. The image of Abraham's sacrifice always lurked behind the Crucifixion in Christian theology; Isaac was regarded as a spiritual ancestor of Christians. Abraham's sacrifice which was thwarted by God posed a theological problem for Christianity: if God prohibited the sacrifice of children, how could He sacrifice His own son? The problem was solved by diverting the accusation of infanticide from God to His people. In the Middle Ages, the notion that the Jews were capable of killing children was transformed into the belief in ritual murder. Scenarios of many blood libels included crucifixion of the victim. In the views of that epoch, the Jews needed to consume Christian blood because it was their only substitute for the Eucharist, essential for salvation. The image of the Jew as a ritual murderer, and at the same time the devil's henchman and a traitorous Judas, was adopted by classical English literature, the most striking example of which is Shakespeare's Shylock.

"When they arrived at the place which God had indicated to him, Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood. Then he bound his son and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son..." --The Book of Genesis The story of Abraham's acceptance of God's command to sacrifice his son Isaac is one of the most disturbing of all biblical stories. Isaac is spared only at the last moment, when an angel stops Abraham's hand. Theologians and scholars have wrestled with the question of why God asked Abraham to kill his beloved son, why Abraham acquiesced, and why in some interpretations he actually killed his son. In Abraham's Curse, Bruce Chilton traces the impact of the story of Abraham and Isaac on the beliefs and teachings of Judaism (where Abraham is regarded as the forefather of Israel), Islam (where he provides the role model for Muhammad), and Christianity (where he is the ancestor of King David, whose lineage culminates in Jesus). As Chilton examines the story's significance, he makes the case that, far from only reflecting the violence of an ancient, unenlightened time, the sacrifice of children in the name of religion is still a fundamental part of our lives and culture -- from Islamist suicide bombings to militant Zionism and graphic glorifications of the Crucifixion of Christ.

From ancient times, Moses recorded the story of Abraham sacrificing his son in obedience to God's command. In a dramatic turn of events, God provided a ram to be sacrificed instead of Abraham's son. This retelling of the story draws out specific elements that point directly to the even greater story of Jesus Christ's personal sacrifice nearly 2000 years later. Along the journey to the mountain of Moriah, Abraham tells his son: "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." These words are often prophetically applied to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. But besides this important point, as we read the story in Genesis chapter 22, a few verses at a time, we discover that there are additional details in the ancient story that mirror the experience of Jesus Christ. Is there any significance in the fire and the knife that Abraham carried? Or what images come to mind when Abraham arranges the wood for his son? Does Jesus' loud cry to His Father on the cross remind you of another urgent call? This book endeavors to shed some light on the subject. May God bless you as you read this book.

This study breaks new ground in describing how various linguistic and pragmatic mechanisms affect both the form of the narrative clause and the arrangement of the grammatical elements. The various possible forms that a narrative clause can take are classified in terms of their 'topic-comment' and 'focus-presupposition', and it is argued that the way in which these are articulated dictates the word order in the clause. The outcome of the study demonstrates that the traditional binary distinction between foreground and background, based purely on verb forms, is inadequate. A new model is offered showing how foregrounding is achieved by exploiting cognitive structures or by using specific evaluative devices.

Excerpt from The Story of Abraham as Told by Isaac N old man, tall, and straight as an arrow, A with a great wealth of grayish white hair falling in curls about his shoulders, a flowing beard White as the snows of Lebanon covering his breast and reaching below his girdle, a broad fair brow, wonderful eyes that looked out upon you from beneath great white crags, -eyes as deep as the wells he used to dig in Gerar - wells with stars Shining in them - stars that twinkled, - eyes that sometimes flashed like his Damascus blade and sometimes melted with tenderness like the eyes of a gazelle - such was my father as he appeared to me when I stood before him a little child three score and ten years ago.
