More about the book

Exploring the profound influence of Genesis 22 on Shakespeare's work, Ken Jackson highlights the playwright's engagement with themes of child sacrifice and their implications on religion, law, and justice. Through various characters and plots, such as in 3 Henry 6 and The Merchant of Venice, Jackson reveals how biblical narratives shape Shakespeare's exploration of complex relationships. By connecting Shakespeare to a broader intellectual tradition that spans from ancient religion to modern philosophy, the book situates his work within contemporary discussions about faith and morality.
