The good news euangelion of the crucified and risen Messiah was proclaimed first to Jews in Jerusalem and then to Jews throughout the land of Israel In Jerusalem Crucified Jerusalem Risen Mark Kinzer argues that this initial audience and geographical setting of the euangelion is integral to the eschatological content of the message itself While the good news is universal in concern and cosmic in scope it never loses its particular connection to the Jewish people the city of Jerusalem and the land of Israel The crucified Messiah participates in the future exilic suffering of his people and by his resurrection offers a pledge of Jerusalems coming redemption Basing his argument on a reading of the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of Luke Kinzer proposes that the biblical message requires its interpreters to reflect theologically on the events of postbiblical history In this context he considers the early emergence of Rabbinic Judaism and the much later phenomenon of Zionism offering a theological perspective on these historical developments that is biblicallyrooted attentive to both Jewish and Christian tradition and minimalist in the theological constraints it imposes on the just resolution of political conflict in the Middle East
