Jerusalem Crucified, Jerusalem Risen

More about the book

The book explores the profound significance of the crucified and risen Messiah's message, first delivered to Jews in Jerusalem. Mark Kinzer emphasizes that this initial audience and location are crucial to understanding the eschatological themes of the euangelion. While the message has a universal appeal, it maintains a deep connection to the Jewish identity, the city of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel. The narrative highlights how the Messiah's suffering aligns with the future struggles of his people, while his resurrection symbolizes the promise of Jerusalem's redemption.
