Summary

This book re-reads New Testament writings through non-supersessionist lenses. This reading strategy serves to facilitate conversations of greater honor and respect with Jews who do not follow Jesus as their Christos (Messiah). Supersessionism, as a reading strategy of the New Testament, serves to replace, displace, or supersede ethnocultural Israel in God’s salvific economy with the multiethnic followers of Jesus the Christos. Post-supersessionist readings, on the other hand, explore how a New Testament text or book serves theologically, ideologically, socially, culturally, and/or politically to emplace Jews and Gentiles who are followers of Jesus further into God’s eternal covenant with Israel.
