Mission in the Old Testament Israel as a Light to the Nations
Kaiser, Walter C.
Mission in the Old Testament Israel as a Light to the Nations Walter C. Kaiser Jr. - U.S.A Baker Books 2004 - 99tr. Paperback, Illustration 22 cm
Walter Kaiser questions the notion that the New Testament represents a deviation from God's supposed intention to save only the Israelites. He argues that--contrary to popular opinion--the older Testament does not reinforce an exclusive redemptive plan. Instead, it emphasizes a common human condition and God's original and continuing concern for all humanity. Kaiser shows that the Israelites' mission was always to actively spread to gentiles the Good News of the promised Messiah.
