Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Reframing religious diversity through the stories of Cain, Ishmael, and Esau The way we read the Bible matters for the way we engage the pluralistic world around us. For instance, if we understand the book of Genesis as narrowly focused on primary characters like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, well miss the larger story and end up with the impression that God only cares about those who are chosen. In fact, the narratives of marginalized biblical characters reveal that God protects and provides for them also. What might this mean for Christians living in a world of religious difference today? In Father Abrahams Many Children, Tyler Mayfield reflects on the stories of three of the most significant other brothers in the Bible-namely, on Gods continued engagement with Cain after he murders Abel, Ishmaels circumcision as a sign of Gods covenant, and Esaus reconciliation with Jacob. From these stories, Mayfield draws out a more generous theology of religious diversity, so that Christians might be better equipped to authentically love their neighbors of multiple faith traditions-as God loves, and has always loved, all humanity.
