The Future Restoration of Israel: A Response to Supersessionism
Ebook
This volume is the most extensive of its kind as a major set of collected essays from a wide range of scholars on the question of the promises of God to Israel. These essays put forward the position that unconditional promises were given to Israel, which have not been fulfilled in the church or any other entity. At the consummation, there will be a continuing role for the Jews, realized through their national and territorial hope of a restored-redeemed Israel. This volume contains an eclectic group of contributors who have reached this position from various approaches to interpretation. The essays exhibit both positive argumentation and engagement with supersessionist literature.
“Tectonic plates are shifting. Scholarly discussion of a future restoration of Israel once was the preserve of a tiny few despised by the rest of the academy. This fascinating collection shows that more and more distinguished scholars from many different disciplines see in Scripture and theology signs of this once-taboo subject that can no longer be ignored.”
—Gerald McDermott, Anglican Chair of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School
“Here scholars of various fields present and analyze the many views and interpretations as to how the role of Israel forms an essential part of New Testament theology. Important biblical texts, key historical perspectives, and current understandings of Christianity and Judaism receive illumination through a variety of scholars and men and women of faith. This excellent contribution is now the starting point for discussions of the relationship between Israel and the church.”
—Richard S. Hess, professor of Old Testament and Semitic languages, Denver Seminary

This book is excellent, I would just like the format to make it more accessible to read, that is, if you can add spacing to the text it would be great.
