ABRAHAM

MODULE 2: From Babylon to Canaan

SESSION 4: A Tale of Two Journeys

The two stories of Terakh and Avram are set alongside each other to compare and contrast: Terakh is marked by death and Avram is marked by blessing. Avram is depicted as a new Noah. He leaves the fire oven of Babylon after the scattering like Noah left the ark after the flood. When God calls Avram, the focus of the biblical story narrows from the drama of God and the nations to God’s work through one family.
