ISRAELOLOGY: The Doctrine of Israel - DVD

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Over nineteen hours of solid Biblical teaching recorded live at Chafer Theological Seminary in 2010. This course investigates four evangelical theological approaches to the issue of Israel. All four theological systems are defined, described and evaluated on the basis of their theology of Israel. The discussion of each system is divided into three broad categories: Israel Past, Israel Present and Israel Future. Each category investigates what each system has to say on certain key topics that are crucial to Israelology.

The first three systems of theology are all within the realm of Covenant Theology which uses an allegorical, hermeneutical approach to Israelology and Eschatology and teaches that the Church at some point becomes the new, or true, or spiritual Israel. They disagree among themselves as to exactly when the Church becomes Israel and, therefore, are divided into three major schools: Covenant Postmillennialism, Covenant Amillennialism, and Covenant Premillennialism. This course will show that because all three schools of Covenant Theology at some point confuse Israel and the Church, they cannot develop a full scale Israelology in their Systematic Theology.

The fourth system is Dispensationalism, which uses a literal hermeneutical approach to Israelology and Eschatology and insists on a consistent distinction between Israel and the Church, past, present, and future. Therefore, only Dispensationalism allows for a fully developed Israelology. However, this course will also show that Dispensationalism has thus far failed to do so, and in their Systematic Theology Dispensationalists have incorporated their Israelology into their Ecclesiology and Eschatology. This has resulted in Dispensationalism developing a very strong theology of Israel Future, and an adequate but not equally strong theology of Israel Past. However, its weakest point is a clear theology of Israel Present. Therefore, Dispensationalism needs to develop a complete Israelology this is a distinct and separate entity in their overall Systematic Theology detached from their Ecclesiology and Eschatology, though allowing for obvious overlaps.

In conclusion, Dr. Fruchtenbaum then systematizes Israelology on the basis of dispensational hermeneutics providing a comprehensive theology of Israel Present. This course also discusses other relevant topics that concern Israelology and, in conclusion, will show how Israelology affects and/or overlaps the other divisions of Systematic Theology.

ISRAELOLOGY: The Missing Link In Systematic Theology

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

This groundbreaking work is the first to create an entire systematic theology of all that the Scriptures say in regard to the people of Israel. As such, Israelology fills a tremendously neglected void, while affecting nearly every other segment of systematic theology and directly addressing a crucial point of division in evangelical theology today.

Dr. Fruchtenbaum's masterful book, written over a 13-year period to earn his Ph.D. from New York University, exhaustively surveys every aspect of Israel's past, present and future from the perspective of four major schools of theology (postmillennialism, amillennialism, premillennialism, and dispensationalism). Its far-reaching conclusion is that only the last, with its clear distinction between Israel and the church, can, in fact, provide a systematized biblical doctrine of Israel. But even dispensationalists, while organizing every other major scriptural theme from ecclesiology to soteriology to eschatology, have failed to develop a systematic theology of one of the Bible's most integral subjects, Israel. Until now . . . Israelology pioneers a fully dispensational approach to this topic, proving that it is central to a proper systematic theology and, thus, critical in terms of issues such as Messiah's return, evangelism, anti-Semitism, and ultimately, God's entire agenda for Jews and Gentiles alike.

The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a "tremendous, masterful book... Amillennialism, postmillennialism and other forms of Covenant Theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them."

Israelology: The Missing Link In Systematic Theology (epub)

by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum

One's view of Israel is key in determining one's theology, and this groundbreaking study scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the Church. It is the first to create an entire systematic theology of all that the Scriptures say in regard to the people of Israel. As such, Israelology fills a tremendously neglected void, while affecting nearly every other segment of systematic theology and directly addressing a crucial point of division in evangelical theology today.

Dr. Fruchtenbaum's masterful book, written over a 13-year period to earn his Ph.D. from New York University, exhaustively surveys every aspect of Israel's past, present and future from the perspective of four major schools of theology (postmillennialism, amillennialism, premillennialism and dispensationalism). Its far-reaching conclusion is that only the last, with its clear distinction between Israel and the Church, can, in fact, provide a systematized biblical doctrine of Israel. But even dispensationalists ‚Äì while organizing every other major Scriptural theme from the Church (Ecclesiology) to Salvation (Soteriology) to Last Days (Eschatology) ‚Äì have failed to develop a systematic theology of one of the Bible's most integral subjects, Israel. Until now ... Israelology pioneers a fully dispensational approach to this topic, proving that it is central to a proper systematic theology and, thus, critical in terms of issues such as Messiah's return, evangelism, anti-Semitism and, ultimately, God's entire agenda for Jews and Gentiles alike.

Israel's Only Hope - (epub)

by John B. Metzger

What is the New Covenant? In Jewish and Christian circles this subject will get a blank expression and a movement of the shoulder saying, "I don't know anything about it." Both Jewish and Christian audiences have a very inadequate understanding of this covenant. Jewish people do not understand it because they are completely focused on Rabbinic Law and do not understand that the law only judges and condemns a sinner, it does not remove sin. Whereas, the New Covenant gives everlasting life. It does what the Law was incapable of doing. Most church going Christians are aware of the term New Covenant, yet they have little understanding of the ramifications of the New Covenant to the church. The New Covenant is a Jewish Covenant, the church does not own it or possess it for themselves, it is a Jewish covenant! Yet the New Covenant literally echoes off of every page of the New Testament whether it was written by Paul, Peter, James or John.

After reading this book you will have biblical understanding but even more important a spiritual understanding of your place in the Messiah and God's fulfillment of all the eternal covenants made with Israel that He will fulfill in the Kingdom. This will give you a biblical understanding of what the Messiah of Israel did on the tree [cross]. The New Covenant is the glue that puts together the Abrahamic, Land, Davidic and New Covenants and wraps them all around the person of Yhua [Jesus] the Messiah. Come with me and follow this covenant through the Hebrew Scriptures into the New Testament.
