    Hagar: case study of abuse of women
    (University of the Western Cape, 2008) Faleni, Mzukisi Welcome; Lawrie, Douglas; Dept. of Religion and Theology; Faculty of Arts
    According to modern standards, the narratives about Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21 are stories of abuse, as many feminist commentators have pointed out. Some of them, however, argue that the narrator condones what happened to Hagar, seeing it as perfectly normal. This thesis aims to investigate whether and how Hagar was abused according to the narrator of Genesis 16 and 21: 8-21.
