Blessed are the Minimized

September 22, 2024 | Maren Jo Schneider | Genesis 24 We've all heard that we worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but when you read Genesis like an English major, it's not hard to see that a better name would be the God of Abraham, Rebekah, and Jacob. The text designates Rebekah as a chosen one of God with main character energy, but commentators have struggled to notice because they expect the women of Genesis to stick to supporting roles. Rebekah boldly subverts those expectations and, beyond biology, serves her crucial role in growing a people called to do righteousness and justice. Keywords: Rebekah, Abraham, Women in Genesis About: The Church We Hope For is a beloved community moved by the Spirit to follow the life, love, and justice of Jesus.
