Abraham. Ten, który wbrew nadziei uwierzył nadziei

Abstract

In this article entitled 'Abraham: the one who against hope, in hope believed' we have tried to define hope in terms of narrative transformation of Abraham's identity. Abraham as a member of a genealogical tree of Terah lived in a history and a world of his father, unable to live his own independent life (Gen 11,27-32). Only the word of God's promise (Gen 12,1-3) has been powerful enough to turn him into a new person, opened towards future. In this process hope bas been playing an indispensable role. Shaped by the promise iftransgresses every historical circumstances towards eschatological goal.
