"The Hebrew Bible contains many examples of protest or complaint against God. There are classic cases in the psalms of the individual lament, but we find the same attitude in community complaint psalms, in the prophetic challenges to God, and in the Book of Job. This intellectual history will be welcomed for its scope, its panache and its theological engagement."--BOOK JACKET.

Richard Middleton. This book was released on 2021-11-16. Abraham's Silence available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It is traditional to think we should praise Abraham for his willingness to sacrifice his son as proof of his love for God. But have we misread the point of the story? Is it possible that a careful reading of Genesis 22 could reveal that God was not pleased with Abraham's silent obedience? Widely respected biblical theologian, creative thinker, and public speaker J. Richard Middleton suggests we have misread and misapplied the story of the binding of Isaac and shows that God desires something other than silent obedience in difficult times. Middleton focuses on the ethical and theological problem of Abraham's silence and explores the rich biblical tradition of vigorous prayer, including the lament psalms, as a resource for faith. Middleton also examines the book of Job in terms of God validating Job's lament as "right speech," showing how the vocal Job provides an alternative to the silent Abraham. This book provides a fresh interpretation of Genesis 22 and reinforces the church's resurgent interest in lament as an appropriate response to God.
