The Complete Handbook of Replacement Theology: A Biblical and Historical Guide to Supersessionism, Israel, and the Church is the definitive single-volume reference on replacement theology with 44 chapters, and about 110 dictionary entries with 2,000 years of history. Nothing like it exists.For fifteen centuries, a doctrine quietly shaped the relationship between Christianity and the Jewish people. It taught that God had rejected Israel, that the church had inherited every promise once made to Abraham's descendants, and that the Jewish people had no remaining role in the divine plan. This teaching carried many names: replacement theology, supersessionism, fulfillment theology. Its consequences were not quiet at all. They included forced conversions, expulsions, inquisitions, pogroms, and the theological soil that made the Holocaust possible.No comprehensive A-to-Z reference on this subject has ever been published. Until now.THE COMPLETE HANDBOOK OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY is the first book to bring together every dimension of the debate in a single volume. It is designed for three audiences at once: pastors preparing sermons on Israel, the church, and eschatology; students writing papers on covenant theology, dispensationalism, or Jewish-Christian relations; and scholars who need a reliable survey of any sub-topic before deeper research.What this book covers:Foundations: The terminology, the three types of supersessionism (punitive, economic, and structural), and the four central questions every Christian must answer about IsraelThe Bible: Verse-by-verse analysis of every disputed passage, from Genesis 12 and the Abrahamic covenant to Romans 9-11, Galatians 6:16, Hebrews 8:13, and RevelationChurch History: 14 chapters tracing supersessionism from Justin Martyr and Melito of Sardis through Chrysostom, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust to Vatican II and beyondTheological Traditions: How covenant theology, dispensationalism, new covenant theology, progressive covenantalism, Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, Messianic Jewish, and Christian Zionist traditions each handle the questionContemporary Issues: Replacement theology and antisemitism, Palestinian liberation theology, Christian nationalism, Islamic supersessionism, and the ongoing Jewish-Christian dialogueA-to-Z Reference: 116 dictionary-style entries on every key term, figure, event, and Bible passage related to supersessionismAppendices: Tables of key figures, denominational positions, and a 55-entry historical timeline from 70 CE to the presentThe book is written from a perspective that takes God's covenant with Israel seriously. It examines supersessionism honestly, traces its devastating historical record, and demonstrates why the biblical text does not support the replacement of Israel by the church. Every chapter stands alone for easy reference while contributing to the larger argument across the entire volume.If you teach, preach, study, or write about Israel, the church, the covenants, eschatology, or Jewish-Christian relations, this is the reference you have been waiting for.44 chapters. 6 major parts. About 110 A-to-Z entries. 3 appendices. Selected bibliography.
