This colorful artist's book from filmmaker Peter Greenaway supplements and illustrates the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael told in the exhibition of the same name. The accompanying text enlarges upon the themes of the exhibition and considers the story of the binding of Isaac from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives.
