Part F Now The Boy's Passage Analysis

520 Words3 Pages

Part F Now the boy’s passage begins, carrying a heavy load of obedience, to a strange place. In Abraham’s right hand is the fire of his zeal that consumes, at his left hand is the knife, the will of his spirit to execute the revelation of God’s word (Christ in Gethsemane). And they went both of them together, Father and Son to honour God in a unity that will cement their generations forever (Matthew 26:36-46).

Part J What happens now is in slow motion. Abraham puts forth his hand, reaches out to take hold of the instrument that will execute the absolute sovereignty of God over his life. The knife (the sword of the spirit!) acclaims the Word of God, it alone has the power to “cut the covenant” that God demands to seal His

    The issue of gender, its roles and norms, is a prevailing theme in intellectual works of writing such as Aaron Devor’s “Becoming Members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender,” Hanna Rosin’s “A Boy’s Life,” and Tanwi Nandini Islam’s Bright Lines. Aaron Devor’s essay “Becoming Members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender” thoroughly explains with unbiased and compelling evidence how gender roles are the product of socialization. According to him, they are the result of lessons taught and instilled in the minds of children so early in life. The story of Brandon Simms, a lively eight year old boy, challenges the argument presented in Devor’s account.

    Abraham and Isaacs situation teaches an example of what devotion and loyalty to religion can look like. Despite facing an internal conflict on whether or not to give up his only son, Abraham puts his trust within his higher power, which in this case is God. Although not said in blatant terms, it can be assumed that Abraham felt some hesitation in deciding to offer up his son’s life. He explains to Isaac at one point, “My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering” (22:8). This gives a hint that Abraham truly trusted the intentions of God and how he potentially could spare Isaac’s life.
