We will present different ontological interpretations of the Biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, but both focusing on the development of a form of consciousness which has evolutionary implications for how human beings relate in the world. Desteian’s focus is on the transition from mythic to religious consciousness. Strahm focuses on the evolutionary psychic implications of the transition from hunting wild living animals to breeding animals and then killing them, and on its effects on the development of Jewish and Christian religious perceptions as documented in the Bible.
