{"product_id":"abraham-as-spiritual-ancestor-israel-kamudzandu-9789004181649","title":"Abraham as Spiritual Ancestor: A Postcolonial Zimbabwean Reading of Romans 4","description":"New Testament commentaries and exegetes have not paid sufficient attention to the context in which Paul's Epistel to the Romans was crafted. This book written from an African perspective offers a fresh interpretation on a contextualizing reading of Romans and its theology. The argument of the book is that Paul's construcntion of Abraham as a Spiritual ancestor of \"all\" faith people was based on his encounter with the Roman Ideology based on Aeneas as the founder of Rome. A juxtaposition of these two canonical ancestors needs to be considered in our 21st multi - ethnic Christian world. Paul's epitsle is not about how God saves the individual human being; rather the debate between Paul and the Jewish - Christian interlocutor is about how families of people and nations establish a kinship with God and one another. The concern with ancestors is apaque to Western Biblical readers and Christians. This is book helps both Westerners and Africans to value ethnic diversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Israel Kamudzandu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004181644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004181649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Israel Kamudzandu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47136557990143,"sku":"9789004181649","price":183.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_892972da-e0c9-401e-8496-75187bcbcb8b.jpg?v=1755023711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abraham-as-spiritual-ancestor-israel-kamudzandu-9789004181649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
