This book focuses largely on the New Testament's use of the Old testament themes of Israel(holy people), temple, land, and law. It relates all of these themes to fulfillment in Christ, in agreement with the idea of inaugurated eschatology. Through exegetical reflection the book provides an attractive, persuasive overview of conventional thinking and indicates the major points of contact and disagreement with dispenseationalism and with current discussions of Jewishness among Jews and among Christian theologians of liberal and neoorthodox bent.
