Abraham and His Children
Abraham and His Children is an Old Testament course focusing upon the Abrahamic narratives of the Hebrew Bible, Genesis 11-25, and the traditions of Abraham as developed in the Talmud, New Testament, and Quran. Abraham and His Children is also an interfaith course? the course encounters numerous ‘Abrahams’ among and within the three monotheistic traditions and asks whether the figure of Abraham can, in fact, be a central, unifying force among the ‘Children of Abraham.’ Course themes include hospitality, pilgrimage, faith and failure, strangers and aliens, reconciliation, and the sacredness of relationships.
