Summary
A program from the television series hosted by Bill Moyers. The moral questions of the story of God ordering Abraham to slay his son, Isaac, are debated by the roundtable. Questions raised and debated include: how could God ask a man to sacrifice his own son?; how could Abraham actually go through with it?; how could Abraham's wife allow it to happen?; is such a sacrifice justifiable, even to save a people?
