God, Abraham, and the Abuse of Isaac
Word & World Volume XV, Number 1 Winter 1995 God, Abraham, and the Abuse of Isaac TERENCE E. FRETHEIM Luther Seminary St. Paul, Minnesota HIS IS A CLASSIC TEXT.1 IT HAS CAPTIVATED THE IMAGINATION OF MANY INTER- Tpreters, drawn both by its literary artistry and its religious depths. This is also a problem text. It has occasioned deep concern in this time when the abuse of chil- dren has screamed its way into the modern consciousness: Is God (and by virtue of his response, Abraham) guilty of child abuse in this text? There is no escaping the question, and it raises the issue as to the continuing value of this text. I. MODERN READINGS Psychoanalyst Alice Miller claims2 that Genesis 22 may have contributed to an atmosphere that makes it possible to justify the abuse of children. She grounds her reflections on some thirty artistic representations of this story. In two of Rem- brandt’s paintings, for example, Abraham faces the heavens rather than Isaac, as if in blind obedience to God and oblivious to what he is about to do to his son. His hands cover Isaac’s face, preventing him from seeing or crying out. Not only is Isaac silenced, she says (not actually true), one sees only his torso; his personal fea- tures are obscured. Isaac “has been turned into an object. He has been dehuman- ized by being made a sacrifice; he no longer has a right to ask questions and will 1This article is a reworking of sections of my commentary on Genesis 22 in the New Interpreters Bi- ble (Nashville: Abingdon, 1994) 494-501. -
Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: a Critical Evaluation of Two Translations
Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.8, No.2, 2017 Mistranslations of the Prophets' Names in the Holy Quran: A Critical Evaluation of Two Translations Izzeddin M. I. Issa Dept. of English & Translation, Jadara University, PO box 733, Irbid, Jordan Abstract This study is devoted to discuss the renditions of the prophets' names in the Holy Quran due to the authority of the religious text where they reappear, the significance of the figures who carry them, the fact that they exist in many languages, and the fact that the Holy Quran addresses all mankind. The data are drawn from two translations of the Holy Quran by Ali (1964), and Al-Hilali and Khan (1993). It examines the renditions of the twenty five prophets' names with reference to translation strategies in this respect, showing that Ali confused the conveyance of six names whereas Al-Hilali and Khan confused the conveyance of four names. Discussion has been raised thereupon to present the correct rendition according to English dictionaries and encyclopedias in addition to versions of the Bible which add a historical perspective to the study. Keywords: Mistranslation, Prophets, Religious, Al-Hilali, Khan. 1. Introduction In Prophets’ names comprise a significant part of people's names which in turn constitutes a main subdivision of proper nouns which include in addition to people's names the names of countries, places, months, days, holidays etc. In terms of translation, many translators opt for transliterating proper names thinking that transliteration is a straightforward process depending on an idea deeply rooted in many people's minds that proper nouns are never translated or that the translation of proper names is as Vermes (2003:17) states "a simple automatic process of transference from one language to another." However, in the real world the issue is different viz. -

The story tells of ritual failure with disastrous consequences, while the ritual instructions and narratives around it recount fulfilling those divine instructions to the letter. The contrast becomes most excruciating in each section’s characterization of the high priest: the golden calf story seems to vilify Aaron by placing him at the center of the idolatrous event, while the ritual texts celebrate Aaron and his sons as divinely consecrated priests. -

ISAAC and SAMSON: SONS of the PROMISES Dr. John Roskoski, Phd
The American Journal of Biblical Theology Volume 17(17), April 24, 2016 ISAAC AND SAMSON: SONS OF THE PROMISES Dr. John Roskoski, PhD St. Peter’s University, Middlesex County College INTRODUCTION Among the dramatic interventions of the God of Israel stands a literary tradition that occurs rarely, but spans the Testaments; the accounts of the “sons of promise”. In its full form, it occurs only four times; in the accounts of Isaac (Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-21), Samson (Judges 13), John the Baptist (Luke 1: 5-24, 57-80), Jesus (Luke 1: 26-38, 2: 1-19). With the advent of Christianity, the images of the Baptist and Jesus preparing for and establishing the Kingdom of God became the focus of scholarship regarding this literary tradition and, consequently, Isaac and Samson were relegated to foundational types. However, our task herein will be to follow that which Luke, with his Gospel presentations, implies; to identify the importance of the accounts of Isaac and Samson in their own literary context. What was the original historical and theological significance of the accounts of Isaac and Samson, apart from the Christian understanding which casts them in the light of Jesus? In other words, what is the intrinsic importance of the birth accounts of Isaac and Samson that prompted Luke use this literary tradition to describe the birth of John and Jesus? We propose that the key to understanding these accounts, particularly those of Isaac and Samson, lies in the rarity and context of their occurrences. Overall, these men and their birth accounts occur at critical junctures of the unfolding of Salvation History of Israel.
