These stories surrounding Abraham, Sarah and Hagar lay the foundation for three of the worlds religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Join us while we hear these stories and dig deep into their meaning. These stories show us how our jealousy and insecurity can get in the way of our ability to love. Learning these stories will guide you in a better understanding of the roots and current relationship between Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
When you purchase this digital learn-at-your-own-pace option, you will receive a link to an online learning platform. Through this platform, you will be able to view the lessons. The program is divided into 4-weekly sections and each contains a number of lessons. With your purchase, you will receive the first week's lessons. Then, every seven days, you will receive the next set of lessons.
You will hear the stories, learn about them from scholars who research them in depth, and have the opportunity to reflect on them from your own experience and tradition.
Through each section, you will learn about the context of the stories. When and where were the stories first told? Who was the audience? Why are there two creation stories? We will look at the similarities and differences in the stories and discuss their importance for the audience in which they were each written. This will lead us to reflect a bit more deeply on their value for today's reader.
