Steve Ray emphasizes that unless we understand the innate “Jewishness” of Christianity, and our own Old Testament roots, we will never fully understand our Faith, the Church or even salvation itself. We won’t have a full appreciation of the priesthood and the authority of the Pope; we won’t even fully understand baptism. Because all these things are rooted, not merely in the early Church, but 2000 years before that, rooted in Abraham,he Patriarchs, and the nation of Israel.

You’re sure to be swept up in Steve’s infectious enthusiasm for the great faith of Abraham who quickly answered when God called him at the age of 75 to leave everything he had ever known. Here we face the challenge of what our own response might have been and learn of the deep debt of gratitude each Christian should feel for the “Father of our Faith.” Following the Biblical narrative, you’ll discover the important implications of Abraham’s inspiring example of belief, trust, and obedience for our lives today.
