This book examines in depth and at length what the Old Testament and
the New Testament hold about the salvation of God's 'other peoples'.
The Bible repeatedly witnesses to the universal scope of the divine
love for all human beings and the chances of salvation that are
available to them. Since the Israelites experienced for many
centuries, both at home and abroad, the religion and culture of
numerous other peoples, the Old Testament texts have much to say, both
positively and negatively, about the religious prospects and destiny
of these peoples. In its second half this book scrutinizes what Jesus,
the evangelists, Paul and the Letter to the Hebrews indicate about
God's loving designs for all human beings. At the end, the book breaks
new ground by developing the universal presence of the risen Jesus
(along with the Holy Spirit) and his role as universal Wisdom, and the
full teaching of the Letter to the Hebrews on the possibility of faith
for all people.
