摘要

亞巴郎在以色列子民的歷史中佔有重要的地位—天主藉著召叫他並與之建立盟約而揀選其後裔。他被尊為以色列民族的聖祖，基督徒將其視為信德的楷模。可我們是否真正看到這些光彩奪目的「頭銜」背後隱藏著亞巴郎艱辛的一生？本文以敘事解經法（narratology）帶領讀者偕同亞巴郎再次經驗其跌宕起伏的信仰旅程。我們從亞巴郎隨同其父親遷移開始這趟旅行，一直到他安居在天主預許的福地，得到天主許諾的兒子依撒格，再到他獻子及逝世為止。藉著研究天主對亞巴郎的召叫及亞巴郎的回應—其信仰之旅，本文旨在引導讀者對今日基督徒的信德加以反思。

Abraham plays a vital role in the history of the people of Israel - God called him, established a covenant with him, and thus chose his descendants. He is also revered as the patriarch of the nation of Israel. Christians consider him as a model of faith. But do we really see his difficult life that lies behind these glamorous ＂titles＂? This article invites the readers to join the faith journey of Abraham with its ups and downs via the method of narratology. It begins with Abraham's migration with his father until his arrival in the Promised Land, followed by the birth of God's promised son, Isaac and his sacrifice and Abraham's death. By studying the call of God and the answer of Abraham - his faith journey, the purpose of this article is to bring the reader to reflect on Christian faith today.
