Part 11: "Sarah and Hagar": Bible Study on Genesis 21: 8 - 21 and 23: 1- 20

Historically, patriarchal society pointed out numerous ways of life for women of different conditions. Pastor Abelina de Gomez, from the Salvadorian Lutheran Church (ILS) analyzes a series of characteristics of that society, and then highlights two characters that deeply marked the history of women: Sarah and Hagar. In a third term, she invites to reflect on the current reality, in which women must protect themselves from abuse and can find comfort in the presence of God.
