John Morgan-Wynne was NT Tutor at Regent's Park College Oxford (1964-87) and Principal of Bristol Baptist College (1987-93). He is author of Holy Spirit and Christian Experience in Christian Literature ca 90-200AD, The Cross in the Johannnine Writings, and Paul's Pisidian Antioch Speech.
"Morgan-Wynne skillfully shows how the life of Abraham lights up
the pages of the New Testament and becomes, as it were, the glue
that binds the Testaments together. Scholarly, yet highly readable,
the author presents a striking, nuanced exposition of the differing
perspectives of New Testament writers and where they find
significant meaning from this 'man of faith, ' father of Jews and
Christians. Written for all serious readers of Scripture, this book
makes the case why our biblical forbears matter and in particular,
how the patriarch Abraham must be foundational in shaping Christian
thought and practice today."
--Marvin R. Wilson, Professor Emeritus, Gordon College; author of
Our Father Abraham
"In this comprehensive, learned study of the New Testament's
treatment of Abraham, Morgan-Wynne shows that the kaleidoscopic
diversity of the first-century church's readings of the patriarch's
life sprang from Genesis itself. Preachers following in the New
Testament's footsteps may tread paths of theological insight and
spiritual renewal. By its careful attention to both the early and
the contemporary church, this volume helps us all join the
'ancestor of the faithful' in the life of faith."
--Mark W. Hamilton, Onstead Professor of Biblical Studies, Abilene
Christian University
