Our Father Abraham
Although the roots of Christianity run deep into Hebrew soil, many Christians remain regrettably uninformed about the rich Jewish heritage of the church. Our Father Abraham delineates the vital link between Judaism and Christianity, exemplified by the common ancestry of the two faiths traceable back to Abraham. Marvin Wilson calls Christians to reexamine their Semitic heritage to regain a more authentically biblical understanding of what they believe and practice.
Wilson, a trusted voice among both Jews and Christians, speaks to both past and present, first developing a historical perspective on the Jewish origins of the church and then discussing how the church can become more attuned to the Hebraic mindset of Scripture. Drawing from his own extensive experience, he also offers valuable practical guidance for salutary interaction between Christians and Jews. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter make this book especially suitable for use in groups—Christian, Jewish, or interfaith—as readers strive to make sense of their own faith in connection with the other.
The second edition of Our Father Abraham features a new preface, an expanded bibliography of recent relevant works, and two new chapters: one that discusses Jewish-Christian relation

These days, we have too many textbooks and not enough text-people. Father Thomas Baima was a text-person. His very life is a text that instructs.
At the simplest level he was a fastidious, disciplined and organized person possessed of a near-sacrificial work ethic and oceans of kindness and warmth. His way of commitment, consistency, focus and dedication revealed something about his inner life with the Catholic Church, with humanity and with God. His everyday behaviors are a lesson in the goodness that comes from the thoughtful life.
However, it was not just Tom’s life that taught. Tom was a consummate teacher. Not only did he possess vast bodies of information, knowledge and wisdom about Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church and the Archdiocese of Chicago, he also knew how to teach all that. He was a
