| Sumario: | The article presents the sermon for the third Sunday after Pentecost based on Chapter 22, verses 1-14 from the bible's Book of Genesis. It clarifies the theological discomfort in the story where God demanded that Abraham sacrifice his son Isaac's life as proof of his faith. It says that the story happened at a time when child-sacrifice was part of religious culture then, but the message is to shift away from religious practices of the times to a better understanding of the nature and requirements of the God of Israel. |
