	BOOK REVIEW. Daniel Quinn, Ishmael (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ishmael is the story of a man, disillusioned by the violence society inflicts upon the world and itself, who answers an ad in the paper placed by a teacher looking to instruct students on how to save the world.
		Ishmael offers to teach the man how to free himself from the cultural cage that surrounds him, "for who is better qualified to teach about captivity than a gorilla".
		Indeed, Ishmael is the story which theorizes how our modern mythology provides us the justification to destroy the planet as well as generating the ambivalence to the inevitable consequences that destruction holds.

	Isaac & Ishmael
		Ishmael's hostility and propensity to violence were rooted in the sin of his own scoffing and jealous attitude towards his brother Isaac.
		Ishmael was to be strong, wild and free; and we might add, he also would be difficult, holding his brothers in contempt, despising town life, loving his freedom to the point of not being able to get along with his own kin or anyone else.
		In some mysterious way, it appears that the characteristics of Ishmael, as described in Genesis 16:12, have survived to this day in the lives of those who have so closely identified with him through the life of Muhammad and his teachings in the religion of Islam.

	Ishaq or Ismail: The Muslim Dilemma
		The Muslim argument that Ishmael must have been the sacrificial son because the story of the sacrifice precedes the mention of Isaac is shown to be highly vulnerable upon closer analysis.
		Certainly the complete omission of Ishmael's name in the passage considerably undermines the dogmatic contemporary Muslim claim that he was the son who was commanded to be sacrificed.
		Ishmael, on the other hand, as we learn from the Tourat, was the son of the bond-maid Hagar and is, consequently, nowhere in the Qur'an spoken of as a 'Gift' from God.

		After a presentation and analysis of these clues utilizing recent discoveries by Humanist scholars investigating the "pre-biblical history" of the Arabic peoples, a proposal is made as to why he was "fictiously" made the father of the Arabs.
		The first clue that we have that Abraham is not in fact the father of Ishmael, is the statement that he was 86 years old when Ishmael was born (Ge 16:16).
		To understand why Abraham was "fictiously" being made the father of Ishmael and the Arabs, we must identify and understand the political situation which is in existence at the time Genesis was being composed.

		Ishmael, a gorilla rescued from a traveling show who has learned to reason and communicate, uses these skills to educate himself in human history and culture.
		The disappearance of Ishmael at the end of book is the only story-like element in _Ishmael_, and it is really an attempt by Quinn to set the reader free - to encourage him/her to think about civilization for himself rather than be told about it by a telepathic gorilla.
		Ishmael, the gorilla, takes the narrator onto a journey of humanity while challenging the him to see humanity, and its role on this planet, in a way never before told.

	Ishmael's New Testament: Salvation in Moby Dick
		Ishmael's going under the water and re-emerging is also "a like figure" of baptism, with the coffin his "ark." The baptism formula of Romans 6:3,4, which is often quoted during baptismal rites emphasizes that the going under the water and re-emerging typifies Christ's burial and resurrection:
		Ishmael on the coffin is a kind of reconciliation between life and death, or at least an acceptance of death's reality.
		Ishmael begins his story with a chapter called "Loomings." This may suggest his later description of the mat-maker at a loom in chapter 47 where the warp is necessity and the woof is free will with occasional "blows" of chance (185).

		Ishmael is the teacher seeking a student because he has a question: "With man gone, will there be hope for the gorilla?" Keep this question in mind.
		As you follow Ishmael's "course" you will gain fresh insight into what he considers the fundamental question: "how did things come to be this way?" Ishmael is no pedantic scholar or medieval disputant.
		Ishmael's "course" pre-requisite is "an earnest desire to save the world." No-one can question the enormity of that task, least of all Ishmael himself.
