A Word from Our Outpost, with Joseph and Crystal Gruber

The Sacrifice of Isaac Part 1 // Episode 56


Listen Later

The story of the sacrifice of Isaac, found in Genesis 22, has been appropriated by theologians, philosophers, atheists, agnostics, and now even by Joseph and Crystal. Hear a bit of our take on the story, starting with a bare bones sketch and why it's such a surprising story (not for the reasons people usually act surprised by it). We then go on to add more flesh to the story, as well as more context, to see that it's actually an incredibly dense story packed with details that should encourage us to keep wrestling with it. We hope to return to this story again, which is why it's a part 1. 

We reference the author Gene Wolfe, and Neil Gaimain's guide to reading Gene Wolfe (it'll make more sense in the context of the podcast, for those of you who like to read the description before listening): https://www.sfsite.com/fsf/2007/gwng0704.htm

We also reference a few other of our prior podcasts, namely "There's Something About Eve // Episode  30" and "I Know There is More to This Story // Episode 16". These episodes can be found on our podcast, as episodes 30 and 16, respectively. And at the end, we reference one of our yet-to-be-recorded-podcasts, which may either be episode 57 or episode [later], where we go even deeper into this story.

And feel free to subscribe to this podcast as well as share it with others. Our goal is to produce faithful, formative, and conversation-starting content for Catholic disciples of Jesus who are wrestling to be missionary-minded in their normal, everyday lives-- so if that applies to you or a friend of yours, we're hoping to serve you as best as we're able!
