“It has been the tendency of Christians to characterize “the nations” as a realm of sin, idolatry, and ignorance, particularly insofar as the lives of the nations are understood primarily in terms of the fall of Adam and, consequently, the human race. Yet while the Jewish scripture characterizes the nations as falling under God's judgment for all of these things, it is also the case that Israel falls equally under God's judgment. And in the Jewish scripture the nations are equally portrayed as places where righteousness, true worship, and wisdom are found.”
