In this bold look at the legacy of the biblical and qur'anic story of Abraham, Carol Delaney explores how the sacrifice rather than the protection of children became the focus of faith, to the point where the abuse and betrayal of children has today become widespread and sometimes institutionalized. Illustrations.Through his desire to obey God at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing his son, Abraham became the definitive model of faith for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This study of the legacy of this biblical and qur'anic story explores how the sacrifice of children became the focus of faith.
