Top Highlights

“The term gō’ēl derives from the realm of Israelite family law.⁷ It describes a close relative, a ‘kinsman-redeemer,’ who takes upon himself the duties of g^e’ulla—‘redemption’ or ‘recovery’—on behalf of a needy family member.” (Page 4)

“familiarity does not automatically mean understanding.” (Page 3)

“In short, the book implies that divine guidance lay behind everything, even the actions of human characters.^{71” (Page 18)}

“faith can be defined as faithfulness in trusting the God who is made known in Jesus Christ.” (Page 95)

“A sign is a manifestation, through the person of Jesus, of God’s work in the world.” (Pages 93–94)
