Jacob makes it to Haran where he falls head over heels in love. But he's nearly pulled to pieces--caught in a struggle between the woman he loves and the woman he's forced to marry, cheated by his father-in-law, and running for his life. We'll see how God shows up.

We're to the fun part now. We'll be covering Genesis Chapters 23-28 this week.We get introduced to a whole new set of characters this week. Genesis starts to read like a novel at this point. No more stacks of etiologies or crazy chiasms. And the story speeds up considerably. These new characters are something else!

Genesis just doesn't quit with the tough topics. In this class we'll add to your tools for dealing with perplexing passages. We run into another wife-sister story, almost identical to the first one. Say, what? Sarah is, like, 90 years old at this point! Never fear, I'll show you how understanding the ancient literary device of chiasms reveals that this weird story makes perfect sense.
Once we've got this chiasm under our belt we'll move on to where God tells Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering. Another totally perplexing passage, but you've got this! We'll use tools we already have in our backpack to figure this one out.

We are going to face it honestly and with careful scholarship. Do not be afraid. God is with us. God is still compassionate. God is still holy.

God shows up again (twice) and Abram and Sarai get into another big mess. But God takes their shenanigans in stride, and it all comes right in the end. We see God as King but also as a loving bridegroom, with a very surprising twist at the end of the ceremony.
