Do not fill this in! ===Structure and narrative programs=== The Abraham cycle is not structured by a unified plot centered on a conflict and its resolution or a problem and its solution.{{sfn|Ska|2009|p=28}} The episodes are often only loosely linked, and the sequence is not always logical, but it is unified by the presence of Abraham himself, as either actor or witness, and by the themes of posterity and land.{{sfn|Ska|2009|pp=28β29}} These themes form "narrative programs" set out in Genesis 11:27β31 concerning the sterility of Sarah and 12:1β3 in which Abraham is ordered to leave the land of his birth for the land YHWH will show him.{{sfn|Ska|2009|pp=28β29}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
