Christian scripture covers a short period of time when compared to Jewish scripture. This point should alter the interpretation of the exclusive language in Christian scripture. In Jewish thought and scripture,
- there is a tension between exclusive and inclusive interpretations of ‘God’ in relation to the ‘nations’, and
- there are challenges (such as Ecclesiastes and the story of Job) to Deuteronomic theology.
Neither of these traits is found in Christian scripture.
