Do not be afraid

Meer over het boek

The study explores the First Farewell Discourse of Jesus by examining its connections to the Old Testament and Early Judaism. It highlights the influence of Psalm 42/43, links themes of love for God and commandment-keeping to Deuteronomic covenant theology, and reflects on prophetic messages of eschatological salvation. By integrating elements from the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, the discourse fosters Jewish-Christian dialogue. The English edition updates the original 1984 German text with a review of subsequent contributions and an expanded bibliography.
