Isaac Unbound is a work of fiction that fills in the details of the life and character of biblical Isaac. People read about Isaac in Gen 17:4--28:9, and conclude he is passive and not an independent thinker. Isaac is not the iconoclast or spiritual pioneer as was his father, Abraham. He is not the scheming activist that his son, Jacob, became. As a result of his near sacrifice by his father, he evolves into a sensitive, caring, understanding person who reaches out to reconcile with his brother Ishmael, with the Philistine king Abimelech, and works to align his values with his actions. Isaac Unbound develops out of the author's imagination as well as drawing on interpretations of ancient rabbis. The book raises questions about interpersonal reconciliation in a non-didactic way. It encourages heartfelt seeking by contemporary readers.

“We find that the story of Abraham and Isaac rises almost spontaneously in the mind of one generation after another.... Constantly past and present react to and upon each other, and life is given an order, a coherence, by the themes which govern the Holy Scriptures and the reinterpretations of those themes.” —from the Introduction by Judah Goldin Shalom Spiegel’s classic examines the total body of texts, legends, and traditions referring to the Binding of Isaac and weaves them together into a definitive study of the Akedah as one of the central events in all of human history. Spiegel here provides the model for showing how legend and history interact, how the past may be made comprehensible by present events, and how the present may be understood as a renewal of revelation.
