The Sermon on the Mount and the Ewes of Ghana (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
Using socio-rhetorical interpretation to study Matthew's Sermon on the Mount, the book explores the contextual interpretation of the sermon among the Ghana-Ewe. The book argues that the Sermon on the Mount can be viewed as Jesus' new kingdom gospel and a reinterpretation of the Mosaic law, teaching not only ethics but also kingdom-appropriate righteousness for theological and ethical renewal. Kingdom-appropriate righteousness is nurtured through daily exchanges with God, leading to habitual forgiveness and subsequent divine perfection of love for God and one's enemies. In the contemporary context, kingdom-appropriate righteousness challenges the deficient, "compulsory-wealth" (prosperity gospel) Christianity that is promoted in contemporary Ghana and elsewhere.
