Father Abraham’s Many Children

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Father Abraham’s Many Children is an important and bold contribution to understanding that the biblical vision is intrinsically diverse and centered on complexity. This important way of reading Scripture embraces God’s self-revelation through ‘many-ness’ and resists any simplistic us-versus-them presentations of God’s people. This book sets an agenda for ongoing explorations of inclusive encounters and interpretations which welcome difference, distinction, and diversity within the wide and generous compass of God’s saving grace. In a context of political divisiveness, the wonder of celebrating ‘many children’ is compelling and freeing. A must-read to melt the burden of corrosive identity politics.”
