Jesus and Israel

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Revisiting an important topic of covenant fulfillment, Reformed theologian David Holwerda here argues that God's promises to Old Testament Israel cannot be understood apart from Jesus Christ. Based on careful exposition of key New Testament texts — including a significant in-depth study of Romans 9 - 11 — in dialogue with a wide variety of interpreters and theologians. Holwerda maintains that the Old Testament promises of God find their complete fulfillment in Jesus Christ and the church.

In this work, Dr Holwerda examines one of the modern church's issues (the legitimacy of Jewish evangelism in the post-Holocaust era) in the light of one of New Testament scholarship's most disputed topics (the relation of Israel to the church in the fulfilment of the Old Testament). NULL
