Obedience as a Theme
Even though obedience plays an important role in both the Iliad and the Bible, they both exhibit many differences in demonstrating the significance of the concept. ...
Obedience in the Bible is clearly a principal and straightforward concept. ... God expects a blind faith and obedience from man when carrying out his demands. ...
Likewise, when God orders the sacrifice of Isaac, the Lord is met with the same unwavering faith and obedience from Abraham. ... This implies that the physical and mental capacities of an individual are not important; all that matters is obedience and submission to God.
In conclusion, a reader can determine the relationship between the character of a book and God by looking at how much emphasis the author of the book places on obedience. The characters in the Iliad fear the gods, but it seems like the gods in the Iliad are more concerned with receiving respect or honor from humans rather than the blind obedience expected from the God of Abraham and Isaac.
