ABRAHAM
MODULE 6: SESSION 27: Isaac’s Marriage to Rebekah
After Avraham receives his first possession in the land, the story turns to the problem that Yitskhaq alone cannot solve. Biblical narrative shows us God’s providence at work through the “happenings” of the story. Rivqah is like the Avraham of the next generation, leaving her home and…

MODULE 6: SESSION 26: Sarah’s Tomb as the Mini Eden
Contextually, the cave of Makpelah evokes the idea of the naked pair and garden imagery an Eden spot. Avraham buying the cave is an act of sacrifice, surrender, and hope. Biblical authors link Avraham and Sarah’s burial site to Eden and to hope for life beyond death.

CHAPTER TWO: THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
Out of the many things I learnt in this chapter what impacted me most are the successful Bible reading plans which include daily reading, selective reading, prayerful reading and systematic reading. My major comment is on systematic reading which is the reading of the entire Bible in one year following…
