Santiago, 17 July, 2024 / 1:56 pm (ACI Africa).
Readers of a newly launched book are to gain insights into God’s wisdom and power, the author of the book has said.
Fr. José Eduardo Afonso, a native of Cape Verde, is the author of “The God We Don't Possess”, a 254-page book that he launched on Wednesday, July 17.
“The book is the result of a rhetorical-literary and exegetical-theological investigation of the 1st Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 1:18, 2:5,” Fr. Afonso said during the July 17 event.
He added, “Paul tells his countrymen that the God of Jesus Christ, the God revealed in the word of the Cross, is infinitely greater than all the attempts to imprison and conceptualize God within human schemes.”
The Rector of the Catholic University School of Cape Verde (EUCatólica) said that unlike his countrymen, who were attempted to “decipher the enigma of life, death, and salvation” through “intellectual power”, Paul emphasized revelation.
