MODULE 5: SESSION 24: Abraham Surrenders Isaac
Avraham’s test on the mountain mirrors the humans’ test in the garden. But where the man and woman fail, Avraham succeeds. Avraham’s act of total surrender and trust in God is directly attributed to the fear of the Lord. The narrator connects this moment to the later practice of sacrifice in…

MODULE 5: SESSION 23: Abraham’s Ultimate Test
Moriah means “seeing,” and it’s a strong thematic connection to the test in the garden of Eden. The theme of the test in the Bible has two sides: positively, it can be an opportunity to prove loyalty and preparedness; negatively, it can be a temptation or a trap. God commands Avraham to…

MODULE 5: SESSION 22: Abraham’s Covenant with Abimelech
The biblical authors place these two episodes alongside each other, strongly linked with key words and themes, in order to highlight their differences. The family of God can act arrogantly about their chosen status, driving the nations away, or they can, through covenant, reconcile…

CHAPTER ONE
PURPOSE OF THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO 2 CORINTHIANS 3: 16-17
No scripture is more important than the other because all scripture is breathed out by God. One of the fundamental use of scripture is to teach the doctrine on how to live Godly lives. They are also used for reproof where one criticizes him or…

Great summary, Edittah! No scripture is more important than the other.

It is very true, according to 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) we are told that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”

Africa Activity 5 months agoNew Testament Survey: Chapter One
Going through the first chapter of this course l learned some really good things the meaning of the Bible, Scriptures, those who wrote the Bible, when it was written, the division of the Bible, the unity and diversity of the Bible. What really struck my heart was the unity of the Bible. The Bible is united…

Great! Thank you for sharing, @maxwelloluwasegun
I love the fact that there are no contradictions in the Bible. We only need the right tools to get the meaning and relationship between seeming contradictions.

May God bless you for sharing this “The writers were united in purpose because they had only one author- God. “

MODULE 5: SESSION 21: Isaac’s Birth
The biblical authors use literary design and key linking words to both convey Sarah’s joy and echo her doubt at the birth of Yitskhaq. As we think about how to approach these stories, the macro view is just as important to consider as the micro view. When God’s chosen partners behave unjustly, God must…

MODULE 5: Abraham Surrenders His Sons
SESSION 20: Abraham Endangers Sarah Again
Genesis 20:1-22:19 deals with the unresolved tension over the promised seed. Avraham chooses deception once again, so Avimelek acts as his own intercessor. The Hebrew Bible regularly critiques its own human heroes, providing a realistic portrait of the people…

MODULE 4: SESSION 19: A Flood of Fire
God’s angels deliver Lot from destruction, but Lot still wants to choose his own version of safety. Later biblical authors invoke Sodom and Gomorrah as icons of God’s swift and total judgment on human injustice, immorality, and violence. The episode with Lot and his daughters is the origin story of…
