Identity And Remembrance

What is it about?

Memory and identity cannot be separated. As the later part of the tradition, Christian identity will always be connected with the history of Israel. This article will explore how Israel, as the chosen people of God, shares their identity in their remembrance of God. The Old Testament shows that Israel actively re-experiences those memories as their identity and not just as an act of calling something into mind. Thus, the memory of God’s saving action is very important for Israel to create their identity, and it shapes the present and future Israelites tradition. This brings us to the reflection of what can be our true Christian identity through our memories from the many layers of our identities.
