Produktbeschreibung

How and why was Jesus able to offer his flesh and blood for consumption in the land of Judah where that would have been an abomination? Was John able to give Jesus a baptism of repentance, even though Jesus had no sin to repent? Jesus said of his life, No one takes it from me, but I have power to lay it down and power to take it up again. How was he able to do this? Join the author in exploring, in a new way, questions you have always wanted to ask. Illuminate your Christian faith by seeing the story of Jesus in the context of Jewish law.

Autorenporträt

William Abraham studied philosophy at the University of Ghana and at the University of Oxford, where he became the first African to be elected a Fellow of All Souls College. While in England, he taught at the University of Liverpool as well as at the University of Oxford, and wrote his first book, The Mind of Africa, on the historic processes then molding the Continent of Africa. In 1962, he returned to Ghana to teach philosophy at the University of Ghana, and worked within Kwame Nkrumah's national government. In 1968, he came to the United States, teaching at many distinguished academic institutions, including Indiana University, UC Berkeley, Stanford University and UC Santa Cruz. After a long career as a philosopher, Professor Abraham has now turned his attention to reflecting on his own Christian faith. This book, What Did Jesus Do? comprises his theological reflections on themes central to our faith, pursued in an entirely new way.
