Abraham and Isaac: The Day God Asked a Father to Sacrifice His Own Son

For twenty-five years he waited for the son God had promised him — and the moment that son was finally his, God asked Abraham for the one thing no father could bear to give: to take his only son up a mountain, bind him to an altar, and offer him as a sacrifice. This is a cinematic recreation of the binding of Isaac from the Book of Genesis: a three-day journey toward the unthinkable, a boy carrying the wood for his own altar, a knife raised against the sky, and the voice that stopped it at the very last second. It is the most agonising test of faith in the entire Bible. Drawn faithfully from the Book of Genesis. Welcome to Scripture On Screen.
