Description
Résumé:The theme of the relation of God’s chosen people Israel to the other nations of humankind constitutes a test case for ‘Biblical Theology’: is it possible to produce a synthesis of the apparently diverse Old Testament and New Testament materials? Israel relates to other peoples in the Old Testament in two ways: historically, through incorporation, and eschatologically, through the ingathering of the Gentiles. It is the Old Testament eschatological expectation which provides the clue to understanding the New Testament theology of mission to the Gentiles, as with the Christ Event the new age is inaugurated. This approach is illustrated through study of the Old Testament theme of ‘The Tribute of the Nations’ in three New Testament books.
