Men and Women in the Bible: Isaac and Rebekah

While Abraham’s faith was confirmed in being willing to sacrifice his son, Isaac, James Meyers considers the quiet but necessary faith Isaac must have had in that account as well. We discuss Abraham’s servant, Eliezer, traveling to Abraham’s home country to seek a wife for Isaac, much to his comfort while grieving his mother’s death. We conclude by briefly considering Isaac being deceived by his wife and younger son, Jacob.
