William Abraham studied philosophy at the University of Ghana and at the University of Oxford, where he became the first African to be elected a Fellow of All Souls College. While in England, he taught at the University of Liverpool as well as at the University of Oxford, and wrote his first book, The Mind of Africa, on the historic processes then molding the Continent of Africa. In 1962, he returned to Ghana to teach philosophy at the University of Ghana, and worked within Kwame Nkrumah's national government. In 1968, he came to the United States, teaching at many distinguished academic institutions, including Indiana University, UC Berkeley, Stanford University and UC Santa Cruz. After a long career as a philosopher, Professor Abraham has now turned his attention to reflecting on his own Christian faith. This book, What Did Jesus Do? comprises his theological reflections on themes central to our faith, pursued in an entirely new way.
