Professor Levy:
The unique thing that happened to the early Israelites was that they conceived a God that cares. He cares, but, at the same time, he also demands that you behave morally. But, here comes the paradox: what's one of the first things That God asks? That God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son, his beloved son, to him. In other words, in spite of millennia of efforts, we have not succeeded to create a really and entirely loving image of God. This was beyond our capacity to imagine

Now the unique thing that happened
00:00:04.001 --> 00:00:06.755
to the early Israelites was
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.341
that they conceive a god that that cares
00:00:10.301 --> 00:00:13.136
He cares but at the same time
00:00:13.513 --> 00:00:15.972
he also demands
00:00:16.999 --> 00:00:17.724
that you behave morally
00:00:18.351 --> 00:00:20.031
But here comes the paradox
00:00:20.394 --> 00:00:23.605
What's one of the first things that that God asks
00:00:24.357 --> 00:00:26.566
That God asks Abraham
00:00:26.651 --> 00:00:29.861
to sacrifice his only son
00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:31.947
his beloved son to him
00:00:32.532 --> 00:00:35.575
In other words in spite of millennia of efforts
00:00:36.536 --> 00:00:38.912
we have not succeeded to create
00:00:39.372 --> 00:00:41.054
a really and entirely
00:00:41.624 --> 00:00:43.416
loving image of God
00:00:43.793 --> 00:00:46.067
