The relationship between Israel and the church is one of the most debated issues in the history of theology. Some hold the view that there is almost seamless continuity between Israel and the church, while others believe there is very little continuity. Additional perspectives lie between these two. This debate has contributed to the formation of denominations and produced a variety of political views about the state of Israel.

To advance the conversation, Perspectives on Israel and the Church brings together respected theologians representing four positions:

Traditional covenantal view by Robert L. Reymond
Traditional dispensational view by Robert L. Thomas
Progressive dispensational view by Robert L. Saucy
Progressive covenantal view by Chad Brand and Tom Pratt Jr.

Chad Brand has served as a pastor and has taught theology and church history for over twenty years at three Baptist colleges and seminaries.

Review:

“The issue of the relation of Israel and the church is crucial in New Testament interpretation for soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. Perspectives on Israel and the Church affords scholarly, well-articulated accounts of how traditional covenantal, progressive covenantal, traditional dispensational, and progressive dispensational theologies address these crucial issues from their distinctive perspectives.”
