Lent 2
Genesis 17.1-7,15-16Context
We continue to explore the concept of covenant as it develops through the Hebrew Bible. This week we look at the promises made by God to Abram and Sarai, who become Abraham and Sarah.
Common thread – People covenant (Genesis 17.1-7,15-16)
The ROOTS resources this week meet the next stage in the development of the notion of covenant as it is unveiled to the patriarch Abraham and his wife Sarah in the promise that they will found a dynasty and that, despite their age and Sarah’s barrenness, they will have a son.
An alternative thread for adultsFaith and law, within the Word and response material for adults, explores the passage from Romans.
These resources were first published in Issue 40 March/April 2009.
