Summary/Abstract: The universal outlook of the Old Testament made it possible that God who had once chosen a little tribal people could become over the ages the God of all nations of the world. The wide range of OT texts of high literal value provided a prime thesaurus for the New Testament to choose suitable passages for the mission to the Gentiles. The great number of proselytes at the time of the Old Testament gives ample evidence for the fact that both Israel and the Early Church held salvation universal: God' call is addressed to all his creation.
