"The present volume is the result of a two-stage project. In October 2006, a Themes in Biblival Narrative colloquium was held at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Groningen, devoted to Abraham and Hagar. Two years later, in September 2008 ... another colloquium was devoted to Abraham and the nations." (Introduction, Seite XVIII und XIX)
