Have the promises of God to Israel in the Old Testament expired? Many Christians today would agree with this suggestion. According to this line of thought, the church is the new Israel and the Jewish people no longer hold a special place in God's plan.Without realising it, many in the church today unconsciously read the Bible like the second century heretic Marcion, who saw the Old Testament as the work of a clumsy, inferior deity, and who sought to erase every trace of Jewishness from the New. It is a view of the Bible not unlike the Muslim doctrine of 'abrogation' in the Qu'ran, where a later revelation cancels out an earlier one. One result of this understanding of the Bible has been centuries of mindless cruelty towards the Jewish people, aided and abetted by the church. Yet even with their blood staining our hands, we continue to cling to this doctrine.This book challenges the church to repent, to re-engage with the complete message of the Bible, and to explore afresh its long-lost Jewish roots, in order to recover its own spiritual DNA and to counter the robust challenges it faces on many fronts today. The reader will emerge with a richer understanding of our place in God's purposes, which can ultimately only be fulfilled by Christians and Jews embracing one another in Christ.
