It examines these scholars? comments on the nineteen verses in Genesis that tell the story of Abraham?s readiness to sacrifice his own son Isaac, the Aqedat Yi??aq. It explores the answers they found to the question of what, indeed, this story is trying to tell us. Is it a drastic way to condemn the practice of child sacrifice? Does it call for replacing human sacrifices with animal sacrifices? Is it a trial by which the Almighty tests the fidelity of one of His followers? Or is it His way to show the world the nature of true belief? The book starts with an introduction to familiarize readers with the many and varied manifestations of the Aqedah theme in Jewish culture and with the developments of medieval Jewish Bible exegesis in general. Next, it offers translations and analyses of the classical medieval Jewish Bible commentaries that deal with the exegesis of Genesis 22, exploring the many angles from which the Aqedah story has been understood. No less than five centuries of medieval Aqedah exegesis are reviewed, from Saadya (882-942) to Isaac Abrabanel (1437-1508). These texts from the commentaries are combined with hermeneutical key passages by Moses Maimonides, Joseph Ibn Kaspi, ?asdai Crescas, and others, which were familiar to the minds of the exegetes, or which, conversely, reflect the impact of biblical Aqedah exegesis on religious thought. Together, the passages discussed illustrate the growth and development of Jewish Bible exegesis in dialogue with the rabbinic sources and with the various trends of thought and theology of their times. The consistent focus on the Aqedah constitutes a unifying theme, while the insights presented here greatly advance our understanding of the various developments in medieval Jewish Bible exegesis. 410 0$aAmsterdam Studies in Jewish Philosophy ;$v17 606 $aReligion?Philosophy 606 $aJudaism?Doctrines 606 $aBible?Theology 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E33000 606 $aJewish Theology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A6010 606 $aBiblical Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3140 615 0$aReligion?Philosophy. 615 0$aJudaism?Doctrines. 615 0$aBible?Theology. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 24$aJewish Theology. 615 24$aBiblical Studies. 676 $a210 700 $aHeide$b Albert van der$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01875392 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255216703321 996 $a?Now I Know?: Five Centuries of Aqedah Exegesis$94486422 997 $aUNINA
