Informed theological guide to the Jewish foundations of the Christian faith In this very readable sequel to his popular book Our Father Abraham -- which has sold more than 70,000 copies -- Marvin Wilson illuminates theological, spiritual, and ethical themes of the Hebrew scriptures that directly affect Christian understanding and experience. Exploring Our Hebraic Heritage draws from both Christian and Jewish commentary in discussing such topics as thinking theologically about Abraham, understanding the God of Israel and his reputation in the world, and what it means for humans to be created in God's image. Wilson calls for the church to restore, renew, and protect its foundations by studying and appreciating its origins in Judaism. Designed to serve as an academic classroom text or for use in personal or group study, the book includes hundreds of questions for review and discussion.

Exploring Our Hebraic Heritage is a very informing and enlightening book to read. I wasn’t sure quite what to expect but I knew I wanted to learn. Hence, reading this book. If you want to learn history, both Jewish and Christian, this is a great resource. If you want to understand the beginnings or foundation of your faith, then this is for you!
At the end of each chapter there are many questions to help facilitate discussion, journaling, further study and more. A friend and I read a couple of chapters a week and then met to discuss what we learned, questions, and comments. For me, I have found I learn better by doing so with another person. There are times I read books solo, but I do enjoy getting another person’s insight and perspectives from the material.
There are five major sections in the book after the Preface: Theological Sources and Methods, People of God: An Abrahamic Family, God and His Ways, On Approaching God, Moving into the Future. In the back of the book, there is a list of the Bible passages quoted and a great Bibliography to aid in seeking out more understanding.
As with any human author, there were times we didn’t understand a point or perhaps disagreed with stated conclusions, but that is what makes it a joy to read and learn. I hope you get a copy and perhaps consider meeting with a friend to discuss the content that Mr. Wilson puts in the pages. My personal faith has grown and my hunger to understand has as well. May the same growth be experienced by others who read with an open heart and mind!
