Summary
Fr. Athanasios Mytilinaios explains that God's renaming of Abram to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah belongs to a biblical pattern in which a name expresses vocation and divine purpose, paralleled by Christ's renaming of Simon as Peter, whose confession becomes the rock of the Church. He connects Abraham and Sarah to the New Testament teaching that Christians are their children through faith, since Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. Addressing the Genesis statement that human thought inclines toward evil from youth, he describes the fallen condition and presents Christian upbringing as the restoration of the image of God toward His likeness. He rejects the so-called Holy Epistle as pseudepigraphal, and he interprets the days of creation as prophetic images or long creative periods rather than ordinary days, noting that the sun appears only on the fourth day.
