The Jews and Israel

Description

The author traces the menaces facing the Jews and Israel today. An interesting ancient history of Israel is given, from Abraham to Moses. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 are an exposition of Romans 9, 10, and 11. Romans chapter 9 covers God’s dealings with Israel in its past. Chapter 11 of Romans reassures the Jews that God will always be there for them, but they will have to be provoked to jealousy seeing that salvation has come to the Gentiles. God has not forever cast off his people and one day all Israel will be saved. Chapter 5 looks at supersessionism and antisemitism. Supersessionism, or Replacement Theology, says that the Covenants, Promises, and Prophesies given to Israel are now embodied in the Church, which has replaced Israel as God’s people.
