For centuries, Muslims have called attention to the father's forgiveness in this parable in order to question the need for a Mediator between humanity and God. In The Cross and the Prodigal, Kenneth E. Bailey--New Testament scholar and long-time missionary to the Middle East--undertakes to answer this question. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of both the New Testament and Middle Eastern culture, Bailey presents an interpretation of this parable from a Middle Eastern perspective and, in doing so, powerfully demonstrates its essentially Christian message. Here Bailey highlights the underlying tensions between law and love, servanthood and sonship, honor and forgiveness that grant this story such timeless spiritual and theological power. 226.8060830832815 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 226.806 Bai c E07005678 Non Fiction 226.806 Bai c The_Cross_%26%2338%3B_the_Prodigal.jpg 58005 2014-12-16 10:48:29 2025-04-10 17:26:12 machine generated
