This book connects the dots surrounding Israel, redemption by the Jewish Messiah, secular and sacred history, the world religions, and Jewish-Christian worship through liturgy and sacraments. It shows how Jesus as Messiah was redeeming throughout Old Testament history, and it carries that story up through the last two millennia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcDermott contends that it is only through a historical examination of the Messiah's redemption amid the turmoil of the world and the worship of his people that one can best see God's beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A tour de force\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking inspiration from Jonathan Edwards, Gerald McDermott traces the redeeming work of the Messiah in the Bible and in Church history up through the new heavens and new earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a book with a bold agenda--to complete and extend an unfinished masterpiece by America's greatest theologian. In these pages Jonathan Edwards comes alive in a new way, and we see how the drama of redemption informs all that he wrote--his history, theology, and exegesis. At once scholarly and edifying, this is a tour de force!\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eTimothy George\u003c\/b\u003e, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"McDermott is well known as a Jonathan Edwards scholar. Now he has stepped into the role of updating the great theologian's work by offering his own account of the history of redemption. But this is no mere rehash of Edwards. Instead, McDermott works to bring out the astounding beauty of redemption (a much-neglected category in Protestantism) for a new generation. A very encouraging volume.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eCarl R.

Fascinating reading.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eOs Guinness\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eMagna Carta for Humanity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"McDermott's voice carefully unites the Reformed tradition with key Roman Catholic theologians to write an ecumenically compelling theology of God's redemption, from before creation to the end of time. He pays special attention to 'Israel' (both Jews who follow Jesus and those who do not) and to Israel's enduring role in salvation history. A genuine contribution to theology, ecclesiology, and Christian-Jewish relations.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eGavin D'Costa\u003c\/b\u003e, Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"McDermott proves once again that he is one of the most well-grounded yet exciting and thought-provoking Christian theologians of our day. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Christianity, the New Testament, or contemporary theology. From now on, serious Christian theology should take this formidable book into account.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eRabbi\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eEugene Korn\u003c\/b\u003e, Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation, Jerusalem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerald R.
