MODULE 3: SESSION 10: Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife
Yoseph acts as both the forbidden tree and the human who must listen to God’s voice and pass the test. Biblical authors use keywords to evoke earlier stories while being dynamic in how they form the analogies. Potiphar’s wife, who seeks illicit sex for personal pleasure, is set in…

MODULE 1: SESSION 6: Confronting the Firstborn
Moses’ return to Egypt in Exodus 4:18-31 is a tightly constructed literary unit that creates the first part of a frame to Israel’s deliverance story. Zipporah’s intervention delivers Moses’ life. This carries forward the theme of women delivering the deliverer. Moses’ identity as a…

MODULE 1: SESSION 5: Commissioning Moses
Mount Horeb and Mount Sinai are two names for the same “mountain of God.” The burning bush is a rich symbol with many layers of literary and theological meaning. The identity of Yahweh doesn’t hang on the meaning of the name but on the demonstration of his character.

Africa Activity 4 months agoEXODUS OVERVIEW
MODULE 1: SESSION 4: Moses Delivered and Commissioned
Moses’ naming foreshadows his role as deliverer, but it also embraces the ambiguity of his identity. When God identifies himself, he also solidifies Moses’ identity. His identity is anchored and amplified as God identifies himself “I am the God of your father, God of Abraham,…

Africa Activity 4 months agoCHAPTER NINE : STUDYING THE BIBLE BY THE BIBLE
What impacted me most from this chapter are the symbols of the word of God and out of the many symbols learnt I will discuss only five of them.
– Mirror (James 1:23-27) this reflects the true nature of the hearer and shows them their need for christ.
– Water (Ephesians 5:26) this represents the cleansing, washing and purifying effect of the word…

Great symbols there! The Bible uses very important things that are used every day and cannot do without. As such, helping us to know that we cannot do without the word of God.

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Rebekah’s Plan to Deceive Isaac
The biblical narrative consistently critiques polygamy by always putting front and center the abuse, neglect, and objectification these women have to endure at the hands of men who accumulate wives. Rivqah hatches a plot that unfolds to the melody of the Genesis 3 failure story.

MODULE 2: SESSION 8: Reconcile Through Covenant
Yitskhaq’s story in Genesis 26 is the whole biblical narrative in miniature, and it ends with this scene of reconciliation through covenant. The biblical authors use garden of Eden imagery to talk about the reconciliation of rival families, linking this theme to God’s ultimate purpose of…

MODULE 2: SESSION 7: Eden Springs in a Dry Land
Faithful to his promises, God blesses Yitskhaq despite his lack of trust. In the biblical narrative, God’s blessing often becomes a source of jealousy and rivalry between the chosen and the non-chosen characters. The biblical authors weave repeated key words like thread, stitching narrative…

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Deceiving the Deceiver
As a disguised deceiver, Tamar turns the Eden deception on its head as she deceives her deceiver in order to preserve life. In the social world of the biblical characters, widows and sex workers are some of the most vulnerable members of society. Tamar further exposes herself to risk and stigma…

Reading this story, it feels like a movie, and a lot of humor when the thief is caught!
