Beskrivning
Imitating Abraham provides exciting glimpses into the reception history of the character Abraham in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, illuminating the manifold ways in which interpreters draw upon his legacy to authorize practices like sacrifice, circumcision, hospitality, feasting, prayer, and personal and corporate piety. Abraham holds surprises: his name is used in magical amulets—some published here for the first time—to ward off demons, protect cattle from illness, and even to round up runaway slaves. Researchers, students, and all interested in Biblical, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Studies, as well as ritual and exemplarity will want to read this book.

"Spanning more than two millennia, the collection invites readers to watch Abraham traverse epochs and imaginaries with striking elasticity. One wonders what insights might have emerged had the trajectory extended into the twenty-first century, where Abraham remains potent in interfaith politics and ritual reinvention." - Society of Biblical Literature, in: RBL (2026)“This is a magnificent collaboration of rich scholarship covering different angles. Honest thoughts and comments are laid out for readers to probe further into the subject. Recommended for postgraduate library provision.” - in: Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 50, no. 5 (2026): 37
