How did the Apostle Paul view the Church? And where does Israel fit in? How are the promises to Israel fulfilled? In Heirs of Promise, P. Chase Sears discusses this relationship between the Church and Israel, and he explains how that affects our understanding of the Old Testament. Using a biblical-theological approach to the book of Romans, Sears argues that Paul understood the church not as a replacement of Israel, but as the new Israel—the continuation of Israel reconstituted in Christ. And Jesus, as the Son of God, is the true Israel who fulfills all of God's purposes for Israel and creation. Sears shows how the Old Testament promises to Israel are being fulfilled in the Church.

This monograph discusses the Abrahamic Covenantal Promise that God made with him to bless all families of Planet Earth. From the history of humankind to the specific history of the patriarchs the Promise is explored in depth throughout the pages of the bible. In an easy-to-read style, Dr. Adderley, a retired Professor of Religion, engages the reader and prompts readers throughout to read the Scripture, especially those who may be doing so for the first time. The book really takes off when it is shown that God did not promise that "Jews" would be His only Chosen People; and, in addition that the Promise to Abraham about the Land, was not the Land of Palestine, but that he should inherit the world. This book is a must read for all adherents of religious faith - Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Jains, Jews and Christians -who will see themselves in the promise of one great "Gentile" nation - a great Ghoy - which includes all ethnicities of the planet.
