Day 13 - Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, and Us: Using Family Systems Therapy to Understand and Dismantle Oppression a booklet by Janaki Spickard Keeler (Pendle Hill Publications) nominated by Valerie Joy. Janaki Spickard Keeler, a family therapist, examines the story of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son Isaac through the lens of Quaker theology and family systems therapy. She then widens that lens to examine our society’s challenges with power and oppression and how we might use this story to better understand and work to dismantle oppression.
