Emily Arndt (1971-2007) was assistant professor of theology at Georgetown University.

"The sadly posthumous appearance of Christian ethicist Emily
Arndt's Demanding Our Attentionmarks a brave attempt, and one rare
among professional ethicists, to cross over from her own discipline
to that of the biblical specialist, and to do so by engaging in a
close and sustained reading of one of the most famously challenging
and subversive texts in the Hebrew Bible. In choosing the binding
of Isaac (Genesis 22) as her case study . . . Arndt illustrates the
transformative possibilities latent in the act of close, attentive,
and imaginative reading of biblical narrative -- in effect, a
different way of doing ethics." Jean Porter
-- (from foreword)
"This is a fully formed, sophisticated, and beautifully written
book, offering an important contribution to the field of
theological ethics. . . A fitting tribute to a scholarly career
that was cut short all too soon." Evangelical Quarterly
"Arndt offers an important contribution to the field of theological
ethics." Studies in Christian Ethics
"A wide-ranging book. . . . The book should be fascinating to all
interested in either the Hebrew Bible or Christian ethics, and is
essential reading for anyone trying to combine the two." Journal of
the Evangelical Theological Society
"Arndt's book is informative, thought-provoking, and an easy read."
