Rutgers University | In his latest book, But Where is the Lamb? RU-N historian James Goodman looks at how the Abraham-and-Isaac story has morphed and the multiple, contested meanings attached to it over time. The tome has garnered wide praise and made it onto several "Best of 2013" lists. We recently sat down with Goodman to discuss his inspiration for writing the book, the Abraham and Isaac story itself, and what he’d like readers to take away from his new work.
