La relation avec le Père comme don
Book Description
In this profound theological exploration, Gabriel Gabati Kibeti examines one of Christianity's most transformative concepts: the divine relationship between God and humanity as revealed through the figure of the Father. Drawing from Matthew's Gospel, chapters 5-7, the author investigates how Jesus presents moral imperatives not as burdensome commands, but as natural expressions flowing from a revolutionary gift.
Kibeti's scholarly analysis reveals how Matthew weaves together ethical teachings with the deeper theological reality of God's paternal nature. Through careful examination of the Sermon on the Mount, the work demonstrates how Jesus transforms his followers' understanding by revealing that his Father becomes their Father as well. This revelation reframes moral behavior from obligation to opportunity, grounded in the profound gift of divine relationship.
Using a synchronic approach to the biblical text, the author unpacks the literary, semantic, and theological frameworks that Matthew employs to anchor ethical imperatives within the category of divine gift. Rather than presenting morality as external rules, the Gospel writer shows how righteous living emerges naturally from the transformed identity that comes through adoption into God's family.
This 337-page study offers readers a fresh perspective on familiar biblical passages, revealing how the invitation to moral excellence springs from the extraordinary gift of divine sonship and daughterhood. For those seeking to understand the connection between spiritual identity and ethical living, Kibeti provides valuable insights into how relationship with the divine Father shapes authentic discipleship.
