Jesus' Promise to the Nations

The book explores the Jewish focus of Jesus' ministry, suggesting it was both a deliberate strategy for future expansion and rooted in Old Testament expectations. Dr. Jeremias posits that Jesus anticipated a broader appeal to Gentiles, envisioning their pilgrimage to God's presence at the end of times. Throughout the text, he presents a compelling argument for Jesus' universalism, while acknowledging the limitations of his immediate outreach to the Jewish community. The work is noted for its rich scholarly insight and depth of analysis.
