Tamar - a Christian perspective
The story of Tamar is an ugly tale of sin and hypocrisy, and is a vivid reminder that sin tainted Abraham's lineage from the very beginning.

“The story of Tamar is not one of sin and hypocrisy….” You are mistakened. It’s the reverse. It is the mysterious way in which God worked with someone who was courageous and faithful enough to risk her life (death by stoning)to continue the blood lineage of Judah (the line in which Jesus -the Messiah) is to be born in (Gen.49:10, Mt.1:3). Judah, himself had to conclude that Tamar was more righteous than himself (Gen.38:26). Tamar has honorable mention in biblical providence.
