NSBT 14: From Every People and Nation
A Biblical Theology of Race.'After this I looked and there
before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation,
tribe, people and language ...' (Revelation 7:9).
The visions in the
book of Revelation give a glimpse of the people of God at the consummation of
history - a multiethnic congregation gathered together in worship around God's
throne. Its racial diversity is expressed in a fourfold formula that first
appears in Genesis 10.
The theme of race runs throughout Scripture,
constantly pointing to the global and multiethnic dimensions inherent in the
overarching plan of God. In response to the neglect of this theme in much
evangelical biblical scholarship, J. Daniel Hays offers a thorough exegetical
study. As well as focusing on texts which have a general bearing on race, Hays
demonstrates that black Africans from Cush (Ethiopia) play an important role in
both Old and New Testament history.
This careful, nuanced analysis
provides a clear theological foundation for life in contemporary multiracial
cultures and challenges churches to pursue racial unity in
Christ.'Hays is able simultaneously to make us long for the new
heaven and the new earth, when men and women from every tongue and tribe and
people and nation will gather around the One who sits on the throne and the
Lamb, and to make us blush with shame when we recognize afresh that already the
church of Jesus Christ is to be an outpost in this fallen world of that
consummated kingdom. This book deserves the widest circulation and the most
thoughtful reading, for it corrects a fair bit of erroneous scholarship while
calling Christians to reform sinful attitudes.' - D. A.
