Old Testament
Has the Church Replaced Israel?
A Theological Evaluation
Michael J. Vlach
NEW
The relationship between Israel and the church continues to be a controversial
topic led by this question: Does the church replace, supersede, or fulfill the nation
of Israel in God’s plan, or will Israel be saved and restored with a unique identity
and role?
In Has the Church Replaced Israel?, author Michael J. Vlach evaluates the
doctrine of replacement theology (also known as supersessionism) down through
history but ultimately argues in favor of the nonsupersessionist position.
Thoroughly vetting the most important hermeneutical and theological issues
related to the Israel/church relationship, Vlach explains why “there are compelling
scriptural reasons in both testaments to believe in a future salvation and restoration
of the nation of Israel.”
Michael J. Vlach is professor of Theology at The Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, California. He holds
degrees from the University of Nebraska (B.S.), The Master’s Seminary (M.Div.), and Southeastern Baptist Theological
Seminary (Ph.D.).

Israel
Ancient Kingdom or Late Invention?
Daniel I. Block

to the radical claims that Israel and its history actually began following the
Babylonian exile, and that the history of Israel we read about in the Bible is a
fictionalized account.
Contributors are leading Bible and archaeology scholars who bring extrabiblical
evidence to bear for the historicity of the Old Testament and
provide case studies of new work being done in the field of archaeology and Old
Testament studies.

Illinois. He holds degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and
University of Liverpool and has lectured and preached in Russia, Denmark, and China. A prolific writer, Block’s
