In this book, the author attempts to explain the relationship between Israel and the Kingdom of God.
Much has changed within Christian theology with regard to this subject. Large parts of this theology are accused of sinning against Israel and the Jews by embracing the so-called replacement theology. By embracing this theology, the church is said to be guilty of anti-Semitism and even to have been at the cradle of the persecution of the Jews in the Second World War.
The question the author seeks to answer is whether this assumption is correct when viewed in light of what the Bible has to say on this subject. A number of questions arise:
- Are the church and Israel distinct entities?
- Is the church the continuation of Old Testament Israel?
- Is the Kingdom of God an earthly or a heavenly reality?
The author takes the reader through the Bible, letting it speak as much as possible to find answers to these and other questions.
