Thank you for sharing this. I have always felt that being taught that if we don\t bless Israel that we won’t be blessed. That never made any sense to me. I am so happy I found you. I look forward to reading more of your writing.
I ordered your book. It will be here Tuesday. I wonder if you have done areading of the Quran. I am Muslim and like many Muslims are reading it during the holy month.
Ramadan kareem! Thank you for purchasing the book. I have indeed read Quran and Hadith. When I write about Hagar in Womanist Midrash I use Hadith. I sometimes make reference to Quran in my preaching.
Thank you. It is so good to be reminded of the truth. This historical perspective should be taught in seminary…we do students an injustice by not doing so.
