Love Story, or the Absurd Against the Algorithms
A reflection on Abraham, the binding of Isaac, and how the absurd can sometimes save us.
What follows is a sermon I preached at Christ Episcopal Church on Sunday, July 2nd. Though I don’t cite them directly, Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling, Erich Auerbach’s indespensible essay “Odysseus’s Scar",” and Ellen Davis’s “Take Your Son” were all very present in my mind as I reflected on Genesis 22:1-14.
