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.enWomenCrimes againstReligious aspectsChristianityThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
