Genesis Chapters 16-17: The Father of Nations and the Perpetual Covenant


Listen Later

In this episode, we read Genesis Chapters 16–17 and wrestle with the following issues:


• What does the Hebrew word "Olam" mean in the context of the Old Covenant?


• The contingency argument for God's existence: Is God necessarily true?


• Why do Abram and Sarai's names change?


• Agar's transition from pride to humility


• What does God mean when He says, “I Am”?


These are just a few of the topics we explore in this episode.
