| Abstract

:
|
This work addresses the highly charged theological debate over supersessionism. Since the last half of the twentieth century, the subject has been approached by many from the perspective of Jewish-Christian relations in a post-Holocaust context. The charge of anti-Semitism is often leveled against those who view the New Testament as teaching that the church is now the people of God. As the theological heirs of the Reformers, Evangelical Christians hold to the ultimate authority of Scripture for all doctrine. Using any method other than sound, careful exegesis of relevant biblical texts will lead to a conclusion which is not in accord with the New Testament. The question of who the New Testament adjudges to be the people of God is answered via a survey of select biblical passages, which will show conclusively that the New Testament writers consistently affirm that the church is the new people of God through a new covenant.
