Earliest Christian Mission to 'All Nations' in the Light of Matthew's Gospel, The

---

Outline: This original work of scholarship clarifies how, in light of Matthew's Gospel, the first Christians understood and claimed Israel's messianic mission to people of every ethnic group immediately after Jesus' death and resurrection. In Part 1 James LaGrand examines the Hebrew Bible and other ancient documents to uncover the meaning in Matthew's time of the terms 'Israel' and 'the nations. This discussion not only demonstrates that 'Israel' was understood much more broadly than its usual ethnic basis, but also shows how certain modern developments from the "homogeneous unit principle' of the Church Growth movement to political apartheid contradict the Christian gospel. In Part 2 LaGrand explores Matthew's Gospel in the context of Israel's literature. Matthew's story of Jesus' words and deeds intentionally defines Jesus as the promised Messiah of Israel, who, through his death and resurrection, empowered his followers to become God's agents for the salvation of all nations. Now available in paperback with a new foreword by Richard Bauckham, LaGrand's work offers a valuable perspective on the church's mission to the world.
