About the author: Jon D. Levenson is the Albert A. List Professor of Jewish Studies at Harvard Divinity School and the author, most recently, of Israel’s Day of Light and Joy: The Origin, Development, and Enduring Meaning of the Jewish Sabbath (Eisenbrauns).

In his book Inheriting Abraham: The Legacy of the Patriarch in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Jon D. Levenson explores the biblical hero as he appears in Genesis, the way he has been imagined by the traditions that claim him, and the very meaning of the term “Abrahamic religions.” To mark the tenth anniversary of its publication, Levenson discusses the book and delves deep into the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, the meaning of the binding of Isaac, and why appropriation can be such a good thing.
