Jesus’ Promise to the Nations

by Joachim Jeremias

Publisher:

, 1967

Overview

The almost exclusively Jewish scope of Jesus’ ministry has often been explained as a deliberate concentration with a view to ultimate expansion. To this, Joachim Jeremias adds the further explanation that Jesus’ own thought and policy were guided by a pattern of Old Testament expectation which enabled him to look forward confidently to the pilgrimage of the Gentiles to the mount of God at the final consummation, and accordingly to preach a bold universalism, while at the same time remaining content during his ministry to limit his actual appeal to the Jews. Jeremias argues his case with a wealth of instructive erudition.
