Our Father Abraham Book Review by Jim Sibley

Marvin R. Wilson is a prominent evangelical author who is well-qualified to write on this important topic. Our Father Abraham seems to be, in fact, an expansion of the author's previous article, "Hebrew Thought in the Life of the Church" (in The Living and Active Word of God, ed. M. Inch and S. J. Schultz. Winona Lake, Indiana: 1983. pp.123-135). Beginning with the basic premise that "the roots of Christianity run deep into Hebrew soil" (back cover), this book is intended to be "an exposition of what it means for today's Church to be part of Abraham's spiritual family." (p. xvi) Wilson is professor of Biblical and Theological Studies at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts; he has long been active in Jewish/ Christian dialogue; and he has been a prominent spokesman on Jewish/ Christian relations. His voice is one which must not be ignored.

Judah Monis: “First” American Jewish Believer

Who was the first Jewish believer in North America? It all depends on what one means by the word, “first.” In truth, only the Lord knows. Hugh J. Schonfield says, “When Christopher Columbus set out on his voyage that led to the discovery of the New World, there were … Jewish Christians among the members of his own crew.” Unfortunately, he offers no documentation. Others have tried (unsuccessfully, in my opinion) to prove that Christopher Columbus, himself, was a Christian of Jewish descent.

Yeshua the Prophet like Moses is Born

For some, the Christmas narrative has become trite, something to be toyed with, but the story of the infant in the manager is not some fairy tale. It is the revelation of the King-Like-David, the Redeemer of Israel and the Nations.

The Storm of Revelation

Why does the text say that Jesus intended to pass by his frightened disciples on the lake, and how does that have to do with Moses’ divine encounter on Sinai? Part of our ongoing series "Jesus, the Prophet Like Moses."

Here comes the Judge

Moses served as a judge for Israel. His judging was not a condemning or critical type of judging but making decisions regarding disputes or disagreements. If Moses is presented as a judge, the Messianic Prophet of whom he spoke is the ultimate judge.

Sinai and the Sermon on the Mount

The Gospel of Matthew’s account of Jesus’ extended teaching sitting on a high place sketches out an image of the Prophet-Like-Moses promised by God in Deuteronomy 18. Second in a year-long series.
