Ishmael on the border
by Carol Bakhos
"Ishmael on the Border is an in-depth study of the rabbinic treatment of Abraham's first-born son, Ishmael. This book examines Ishmael's conflicted portrayal over a thousand-year period and traces the shifts and nuances in his representation within the Jewish tradition before and after the emergence of Islam."--Jacket.
