Mission in the Old Testament


Book Description

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. This new edition adds two new chapters, freshens material throughout, expands the bibliography, and includes study questions.










The Glory of Thy People Israel


Book Description

The title, “The glory of Thy people Israel” is taken from the prayer of dedication by the godly old Simeon, when he took up the babe Jesus in his arms, and said: Mine eyes have seen Thy salvation…a light for revelation to the Gentiles and the glory of Thy people Israel (Luke 2:30-32). Except for the early church in its beginnings when it was entirely Jewish, the Messiah Jesus has never been the glory of Israel. There will come, however, a time (and it may well be very soon) when the Lord Jesus will become the glory of Israel. He will become the key to unlock the whole of Jewish history from Abraham to that day. May the Lord hasten that time.
