THEMES
Robert H. Gundry, A Survey of the New Testament
Content Prominence of Jerusalem
Its image is more positive; where the risen Jesus meets with His disciples. Christianity is NOT the enemy of Rome. Theological Relationship between the Church and Israel—NO new Israel Gentile Mission
The people of God is decisively different from the national group that had occupied that position.
