There is definitely a point of contact between Levenson's Jewish reading of Gen. 22 and Karl Barth's Christian reading of the same passage. A sculpture of the Abraham and Isaac episode was done in commemoration of the Kent State killings and now stands at Princeton University (I attend Princeton Seminary). The sculpture is interesting because it shows an adult Isaac who seems to be asking Abraham to sacrifice him. You can see the sculpture <a href="http://speccoll.library.kent.edu/4may70/exhibit/memorials/segal.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. This is excellent.
