Talk:Patriarch

I would question the accuracy of the first line regarding the Patriarchs as being those from Adam to Noah.

The normal useage in the NT refers to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's sons as patriarchs. Acts 7:8 King David is also listed as a Patriarch in Acts 2:29. WesDale 20:20, 1 July 2007 (EDT)


 * Indeed. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are more formally known as the Patriarchs of Israel.


 * The term also clearly has a more general meaning as the male leader of a family or even a Church. The page should be reworked completely. Feel free.
