When God told Abraham that he and his wife Sarah would have a son, Abraham was astounded, for Sarah was long past the childbearing age, but God assigned to Abraham the honor of being the "father of many nations". Overjoyed at the birth of Isaac, Abraham was horrified by the next command from God, to offer his son as a sacrifice to Him. This powerful story of love and testing faith is lent dignity by the skillful lifelike animation.
