Season 7, Episode 2: Abraham and Isaac
In this episode, we talk about the (in)famous story of Abraham and Issac. This saga is one of sacrifice, blind faith, and God providing, quite literally, in the nick of time. We grapple with some tough questions, attempt to explain the taboo (yet totally common) ancient practice of child sacrifice, and do it all with equal parts humor and insight. Oh, and SPOILER ALERT, Isaac doesn’t die. Phew.
