{"product_id":"the-vine-israel-and-the-hemchand-gossai-9780820461601","title":"The Vine, Israel and the Church","description":"The vine is one of the blessings of the Promised Land. Since Israel is precious in the eyes of Yahweh, she is also called the vine. But this vine became degenerate in some prophetic and wisdom writings. The metaphor was taken over in the New Testament where the Kingdom of Heaven was compared to the vine but with this marked difference: this vine was to bear lasting fruit. This is so because Jesus is the true vine, and his salvific work is carried on in His Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hemchand Gossai,Reverend Peter Damian Akpunonu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820461601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820461601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2004 pg. 19","brand":"Hemchand Gossai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136171946239,"sku":"9780820461601","price":97.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6497bc63-da55-4305-a05d-a9c8f7809483.jpg?v=1770160991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vine-israel-and-the-hemchand-gossai-9780820461601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
