BAT: The Faith of Abraham and the Spiritual Life
Presented by the SFX Biblical Apostolate Team. What is “faith”? Is it merely a kind of ‘intellectual assent’ to the truth taught by the Gospel? What does the Bible tells us about the mystery of faith in the life of Abraham? According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in all of the Old Testament, it is Abraham who is the “the model” of what it means to have faith in God (CCC 144). This study walks you through the ups and downs of Abraham’s life of faith:
• The Call of Abram and his Journey in Faith
• The Faith of Abram and his “Righteousness”
• The Dark Night of Abram and the Mysterious Sacrifice of Animals
• Hagar the Concubine and Abraham’s Son Ishmael
• The Mystery of Circumcision
• The Mystery of the Sacrifice of Isaac
• How the Sacrifice of Isaac points us to the Mysteries
