Episode 119 - Judaism and Christianity as Figured by Canonical Israel

Episode Summary

In this Podcast I argue that both the Synagogue (=Judaism) and the Church (=Christianity) should view themselves as figured by canonical Israel (Israel as depicted in the Jewish Bible/Old Testament). Both movements were originally almost exclusively Jewish, though in time the Church became decreasingly Jewish and increasingly Gentile. Nevertheless, those origins were crucial and substantial. The Church’s subsequent belief that it had superseded Israel as God’s elect was a major theological (and biblical!) error, the consequences of which historically have been horrendous and a deep stain on the Church.
