‘ABRAHAM, THE DREAMER: AN EROTIC AND SACRED LOVE STORY’ EXPLORES TURBULENT LOVE TRIANGLE
The troubled love triangle culminates with Abrahams near-fatal sacrifice of Isaac, the son born finally to the childless Sarah. The book, about the First Family of Jews, Christians and Muslims, offers an unconventional interpretation of the biblical story, with Sarah portrayed as a high priestess in service to Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of Love and War, while Abraham responds to the call of a new, single, invisible God. The story is set against the pagan practices of the times, including Canaanite Moloch-worship, with its child sacrifices, and the erotic Sacred Marriage Rite performed by Sarah in Sumer, Egypt and Canaan. (Note: This novel contains sexually explicit material.)
