The NT as an End-of-Exile Story

July 6, 2021 by Matthew Patton

TableTalk has recently published online a three-part series of articles I have written showing how the NT brings the OT to a climax: Jesus has come to end exile, not just the exile of Israel from the land, but the deeper exile of all humanity from fellowship with God. I find this to be one of the most exciting dimensions of Biblical Theology which has recently come to light.
