Interview: Dr. Bill Krewson

Did you know that the church has had a sad history when it comes to the treatment of the Jewish people? Even in the first few centuries after Jesus died, church leaders and other Christians were calling the Jewish people “Christ killers” and other untrue and terrible terms. They were teaching that Israel failed at God’s plan because they rejected Jesus and that God replaced them completely with the church.

This week we welcome pastor and professor Dr. Bill Krewson to the program to talk about a book he has written on a popular church scholar that lived 1700 years ago, Saint Jerome. We’ll hear how Jerome was reaching out to the Jewish people in the midst of this hard time in history when the normal teachings of the day concerning the Jewish people were anti-Semitic.

Has the Church Replaced Israel?

By Michael J. Vlach

One of the earliest accepted teachings in church history was that the church has replaced Israel, which is called replacement theology. The roles of Israel and the church in God’s program for humanity are still a point of fervent disagreement. Why is there so much confusion?

In Dr. Michael Vlach’s book Has the Church Replaced Israel?, find out what God has revealed to humanity. With this resource you can trace the development of replacement theology, the New Testament passages concerning Israel’s future, and the biblical evidence for God’s plan for the salvation and restoration of Israel.
