Eine hochdramatische Szene: Der Vater beugt sich über den wehrlosen Jungen, das Messer blitzt in seiner Hand – da befiehlt ihm im letzten Moment ein Engel, statt des eigenen Sohnes einen Widder zu opfern. Die Geschichte von Abraham und Isaak ist bekannt. Dass sie dem Philosophen Kierkegaard eine schlaflose Nacht am Berliner Gendarmenmarkt bescherte, in deren Verlauf ihm eine göttliche Maus erschien, um Fragen der Barmherzigkeit zu erörtern – das weiß nur Sibylle Lewitscharoff. Was wiederum der Koran aus diesem Stoff macht, davon erzählt uns Najem Wali. Von Eva bis Maria, von Moses bis Satan: Neun Figuren aus Bibel und Koran haben die sprachmächtige Religionswissenschaftlerin Sibylle Lewitscharoff und der irakisch-deutsche Autor Najem Wali ausgewählt. Deren Geschichten gehen die beiden aus ihrer je eigenen Sicht nach, temperamentvoll, engagiert, auch augenzwinkernd. Mit dem geplagten Hiob fragen sie nach der göttlichen Gerechtigkeit, mit Jona, dem ängstlichen Wal-Reisenden, nach Mut und Toleranz und berühren mit ihrem Dialog zwischen den Weltreligionen die Krisen unserer Zeit.
