The story of israel: a biblical theology - c. marvin pate

Among the several prominent themes in the Bible, the story of Israel is one that has attracted recent attention and study.

The biblical story of Israel--in its election, sin, exile and restoration--is a finely articulated drama of the glory and the plight of the universal story of humanity and creation.

And the story of Jesus, born from the womb of Israel as its Messiah and true seed of Abraham, provides the redemptive solution to Israels and the worlds plight.
