bahareads 's review for:
Our Father Abraham: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith
by Marvin R. Wilson
"Westerners have often found themselves in the confusing situation of trying to understand a Jewish book through the eyes of Greek culture."
Our Father Abraham was supposed to be a required read for my Hebrew Culture and Civilization class, but it got cut by my professor; however, I had the opportunity to still acquire the book. It could be quite a lot of material to read at times, but the amount of information and knowledge in this book is outstanding! Wilson does a great job with trying to mediate just Jewish our Christian faith is. I can see how Hellenized Christianity become as a result of drawing away from our Jewish roots. There are a whole bunch of rich topics here which I believe deserve to be read and re-read to fully grasp the concepts. I loved how what I read in Our Father Abraham reaffirmed what I'm learning in some of my Hebrew classes right now. This is a great read for anyone who wants to dive deeper into Christianity and what it means to be a 'Christian'.
