2. Israel a. Abraham, the Father In “Ur of the Chaldeans” (Gn 11:31), probably the same land of Babel, there is Abram, a man that waits for the word of God, a man that is able to hear, a man chosen by God, the first in the Bible to be called “prophet” (Gn 20:7). Abram is presented as the anti-Babel character par excellence. A kind of dichotomy can be seen in the two accounts. The promise of God to Abram “I will make of you a great nation” (Gn 12:2) finds its counterpart in the story of Babel…

abandonment plays a pivotal role in the novel. It’s so crucial that Morrison named Hagar in relation to it. Like so many characters in Song of Solomon, Hagar’s name comes directly from biblical passages. In the Book of Genesis, Hagar is the second wife of Abraham, given to him by his wife, Sarah, whom is unable to bear a child. Hagar gives birth to Abraham’s son Ishmael. When Sarah later bears her own son, Isaac, she banishes Hagar and Ishmael into the desert, where they are able to survive due…

The statement “The god of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy and Joshua is best understood as the family god of Abraham and his lineal descendants.” is better understood to be a factual statement than the alternative. This is due to the relationship God has with the Abrahamic family in these books and what the definition of “family god” makes the most sense of being. With family god meaning a god that caters to a specific family it is plain to see that the God of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, and…

unique. The religion of Islam is said to be created by Muhammad, who contributed his visions to create a popular religion still used today. Abraham, the patriarch of Judaism, made a covenant with God which is still centred in the Jewish faith. These two prophets are considered founders of each religion, but remain specialized in their stories and teachings. Abraham, or Ibrahim, is present in many stories of the Qur 'an that change in the Torah. King…

along the Euphrates River Valley to Haran and then southwest toward Canaan this was the trade route to missing the Arabian Dessert which was very dangerous as it still is today. Proposition: Tarah was the head of the family even though God gave Abraham the vision he remained faithful to his father until his death, then he continued the mission God had given him. How many of you grew up with the head of the family being your grandfather and then your father but no decision overrode what your…

To be a faithful Muslim, you must confess your faith. The profession of faith goes like this,” There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.” Or if you want say it Arabic,” La ilaha illa Allah wa- Muhammad rasul Allah.” The religion Islam basically translates to the words “to submit to God.” A Muslim is also…

Western culture and civilization is the product of two world views. Hellenism and Hebraism are two very different worldviews but they also have some similarities. In one perspective everything is done for an almighty god in the other everything is done for glory. Both of them have gods but they do not have the same quantity and quality. One was created with organization and peace and the other was created through chaos. Even with their differences Hellenism and Hebraism coexist in Western…

curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Abraham Narrative). This is known by the Israelites as the covenant between Abram and the Lord. Abram obeyed Lord and started his journey towards Canaan, along side his wife, nephew Lot, and their few possessions. During this initial takeoff, Lord appeared to Abram and said, “This is the land where your offspring will rule” (Abraham Narrative). Abram responded to Lord’s comment by building an altar in the name…

Darwin's theory of evolution was based on information that he collected during his voyage around the world in a ship that was called the HMS Beagle. During his voyage, Darwin noticed that different variants of similar creatures lived in different countries around the world. Darwin concluded that these creatures must have had the same ancestor. He stated that other animals of a certain species that had an advantage within a certain location survived whereas those with a less of an advantage did…
