Believers Bible Commentary
Bible clearly says that Ishmael is a legitimate son of Abraham so why the racism by calling him illegitimate?
What are you afraid of ??????????
1-----After Abraham had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram's wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as HIS WIFE. -- GENESIS 16:3
2------So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of HIS SON, whom Hagar bore, ISHMAEL. - GENESIS 16:15
In The Interpreters Bible, we read the following commentary on Deutronomy 21:15-17 :
“However, the law of the first born had ancient sanction, and so long as it was accepted justice demanded that mere favoritism not be allowed to deprive the eldest son of his rights.” (Vol 2 p. 461 Emphasis added)
The fallacy of Ishmael’s inferior status owing to his mother’s “inferior” social status is not only contrary to the Judaic Law (e.g. Deut. 21:15-17) , it is contrary to moral , humanitarian and universal nature of God’s revelation cherished by any believer in Him.
.
The Bible clearly points that that Ishmael is the illegitimate son of Abraham because his mother was not the wife of Abraham. That makes him illegitimate. It also renders him as NOT the son of promise.

St. Thomas Aquinas Commentary on Colossians
$12.95
Translated by Fabian Larcher, O.P. St. Thomas Aquinas's biblical commentaries have been somewhat neglected. Similarly many readers of the Bible do not spend much time with the Colossians. This pearl of a Commentary should assist not only in renewing interest on Aquinas's exegetical insights, but also in deepening our appreciation for the richness of the Epistle to the Colossians.

The Bible and the Qur'an
$12.95
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, worldwide interest in Islam has reached an unprecedented peak. Thousands convert to Islam each year in the US alone, and sales of the Qur'an are very high. What do Christians need to know about the Qur'an? Fr. Jacques Jomier, O.P., has written a scholarly yet readable work that details the profound differences between Christian scripture and the Islamic sacred texts, differences that are too often glossed over by the mainstream media. Topics addressed include: Islamic teaching on Jesus and Mary; the universal mission of the Muslim; Jews, Christians and Islamic law. This book is a necessity for those who wish to understand the highly charged religious elements of the current conflict in the Middle East. ???Jomier carefully presents what the Qur'an teaches about the Hebrew and Christian bible. He contrasts the essential Muslim teachings with the Jewish and Christian understandings of themselves. Jomier is both sympathetic and critical. This is an excellent text in which to understand just what Islam means when it talks of Jewish or Christian sources in the light of its own traditions.??? "James Schall, S.J., Georgetown University Jacques Jomier, O.P. , served for many years as a missionary in the Middle East, gaining a unique inside view of the Muslim world. He was among the first to provide commentary on modern translations of the Qur'an, contributing greatly to the study of Islam. '
