El pacto de Dios con Isaac y las promesas a Ismael: Implicaciones misiológicas

Abstract

This article addresses Ishmael’s place vis-à-vis Isaac within the framework of the Abrahamic covenant. The study addresses some essential aspects of the Abrahamic covenant that are related to the promises, unity, and conditionality of the covenant. Then, it undertakes a close examination of Isaac in the context of the promises and blessings of the Abrahamic covenant. And finally, it examines Ishmael’s role in the Abrahamic covenant and his characterization vis-à-vis Isaac. Clearly, the Bible by no means regards Ishmael out of the purview of the covenant blessings. No people group has special privileges or priorities to the exclusion of others when it comes to salvation. Jesus is the true seed of Abraham.
