Chapter Seven: Bible Background
In this Chapter I have learned much about the Bible background, the periods which Bible events occurred.
Biblical times are divided by events that occurred before Christ was born abbreviated by B.C and events that happened after Christ was born abbreviated by A.D which we call the year of…

Surely, learning about the archeology of the Bible history which entails studying the remains of biblical things in Biblical lands and periods in which Bible events had occurred, and are categorized by 12 periods of Bible History is of paramount importance.

MODULE 3: SESSION 15: The Covenant of Circumcision
Hagar plays out an an inverted prelude to the exodus. As an Egyptian slave fleeing oppression at the hands of Avram and Sarai, she meets God’s mercy and blessing in the wilderness. Both Hagar and Avram face a de-creation and re-creation moment in this narrative—Hagar in wilderness and…

MODULE 3: SESSION 14: The Oppression of Hagar
In tragic irony, Avram and Sarai’s oppression of Hagar, whose name means “the immigrant,” comes right after God tells Avram that his descendants will be oppressed immigrants. Sarai’s desire to be “built up” through Hagar is a distorted echo of God “building” the woman in Genesis 2. The text…

MODULE 3: SESSION 13: God’s Covenant with Abram
In the narrative logic, faith leads to right standing with God, and doubt leads to covenant. A covenant, though a beautiful expression of God’s mercy, is not the ideal. Yahweh seals the covenant alone, binding himself to bear the responsibilities of both parties.

MODULE 3: SESSION 12: Seed Like Stars
Like the human in the garden, Avram is naked with only God as his source of delivering help. God credits Avram as righteous in right relationship—when Avram ceases his scheming and simply trusts God’s promise. God’s promise to make Avram’s descendants like the stars evokes both their vast…

SESSION 11: The Genesis 1-11 Melody Repeats
The Avraham story is built on the structure of the repeating melody of Genesis 1-11. Knowing this structure helps us understand when the authors are making intentional shifts to emphasize or subvert expectations. The story cycle pivots on the…

MODULE 2: session 10: Melchizedek the Royal Priest
This narrative offers us the first picture of Avram’s transformation as he more faithfully reflects God’s image. The kings of Salem and Sodom stand in stark contrast to one another. The king of Salem comes with feast and blessing, whereas the king of Sodom comes to take. Biblical authors…

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: A Flood of Violence
The kings of Genesis 14:1-10 are portrayed as personifications of evil and corruption through their names and other symbolism. The kings eliminated the groups of giants, recalling the Nephilim whose violence ruined the land and brought on the flood. Avram’s dramatic rescue of Lot is depicted as…
