ABSTRACT
What are we to do when one is confronted with an order, or obligation from a higher authority which conflicts with our ethical and moral commitments? The paradigmatic illustration of such is a divine command where the order of God conflicts with one’s sense of justice. Taking the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the confrontation between Abraham and the Almighty, this chapter argues that this incident constitutes the Copernican Revolution in understanding this dilemma.
