But for the intervention of the angel, Abraham would have killed his son. Obedience to God take precedence over morality as humanly conceived. Yet, the angel of YHWH that appears to Abraham is a later addition to the text; thus, in the original narrative Abraham actually disobeys the divine command to slay his son, and sacrifices a ram instead. The first part of the book shows how the version of the narrative did not contain the angelic figure.Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament studies ;468.ObedienceBiblical teachingElectronic books.ObedienceBiblical teaching.222/.1106Boehm Omri973157MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456957003321The binding of Isaac2214094UNINA03673nam 2200661 450 991081336880332120200520144314.00-674-72711-80-674-72613-810.4159/harvard.9780674726130(CKB)3710000000020648(EBL)3301338(SSID)ssj0000941120(PQKBManifestationID)11518151(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000941120(PQKBWorkID)10955723(PQKB)10983832(MiAaPQ)EBC3301338(DE-B1597)209588(OCoLC)862209081(OCoLC)979622396(DE-B1597)9780674726130(Au-PeEL)EBL3301338(CaPaEBR)ebr10776306(PPN)201922339(EXLCZ)99371000000002064820130204d2013 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrEast Asian development foundations and strategies /Dwight H.

The End of High Growth Rates --Notes --Acknowledgments --IndexIn the early 1960's fewer than five percent of Japanese owned automobiles, China's per capita income was among the lowest in Asia, and living standards in rural South Korea put it among the world's poorest countries. Today, these are three of the most powerful economies on earth. Dwight Perkins draws on extensive experience in the region to explain how Asia sustained such rapid economic growth in the second half of the twentieth century. East Asian Development covers Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, as well as Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and China--a behemoth larger than the other economies combined. While the overall picture of Asian growth is positive, no single economic policy has been effective regionwide. Perkins uncovers why some initially egalitarian societies have ended up in very different places, with Japan, for example, maintaining a modest gap between rich and poor while China has become one of Asia's most unequal economies. With Korean and Japanese growth sluggish and China losing steam, Perkins asks whether this is a regional phenomenon or typical of all economies at this stage of development. His inquiry reminds us that the uncharted waters of China's vast economy make predictions speculative at best.Edwin O.
