Abraham and Lot split ways, but this is more than family squabble. This week we explore the reasons for the split, what it might entail, and how imaginative reading can help us see the characters of the Bible as real people. Abraham leads an army to save the people of Sodom, Melchizedek arrives to realign Abraham’s thinking, and the King of Sodom attempts to buy Abraham off. Along the way we discuss how the Jews in Alexandria draw on the tradition of Melchizedek to address the dilemma of circumcision for converts, and how this might of impacted the writings of Paul. Also how Jethro and Moses retell the story of Abraham and Melchizedek.
