Overview
Revisiting the important topic of covenant fulfillment, Reformed theologian David Holwerda argues that God's promises to Old Testament Israel cannot be understood apart from Jesus Christ. Based on careful exposition of key New Testament texts-including a significant in-depth study of Romans 9-11-in dialogue with a wide variety of interpreters and theologians, Holwerda maintains that the Old Testament promises of God find their complete fulfillment in Jesus Christ and the church.Synopsis

Librarian's World
An outstanding evangelical study, this book is a careful, thorough, and conciliatory analysis of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity that counteracts the view of many theologians today that both faiths are equally valid, or even that they are two among many valid religions. Clearly written and logically argued, this book would make an excellent addition to libraries where church members have contacts with Jewish people.
