Beskrivning
An insightful analysis of the biblical story of Abraham and his wife Sarah, showing how its many themes continue to resonate today.The stories of this book are about the permanent interaction between God and humankind. These narratives invite us to witness the manner in which God enters human community in all of its complexities, struggles, challenges, fears, and ultimately hope. Hemchand Gossai not just discussed the large variety of themes within this texts, but also kept an eye on the implications for the Church and contemporary readers. Some experiences, like the barrenness, wilderness and the wrestling with God are described as metaphors. The richness and texture of these metaphors allow the reader to embrace these stories in a way that makes them our stories.

Recensioner i media

Gossai does a masterful job of transporting the reader into the world of the story...and thus making their stories come alive to us... Gossai's work is commendable both in its insight and its brevity. It would be welcome reading for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on stories that may have become too familiar over time.
