Book Reviews and Recommendations: Has the Church Replaced Israel? A Theological Evaluation. By Michael J. Vlach

Has the Church Replaced Israel? A Theological Evaluation. By. Michael J. Vlach (Broadman & Holman Academic: Nashville), 2010.

This book was a blessing to read.  I have heard him speak before on this topic and it was just as challenging.  There is a strong pull today to embrace a covenant-based Ecclesiology including Eschatology.  Especially when many of the coalition-type groups are stacked with speakers and writers of that particular theological position.  I encourage anyone tempted to abandon Dispensationalism for anything else to strongly consider this text.  There still is strong exegetical-based reasons for holding to Dispensatsional Premillennialism.
