Fulfilled, Not Replaced

Description

Fulfilled, Not Replaced: The Church, Israel, and the Gospel of Covenant Faithfulness
Solo Series: Nuanced Perspectives – Book 5

In Fulfilled, Not Replaced, BspDr. Eric L. Douglass, Sr. delivers a biblical and theological refutation of supersessionism—the belief that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s redemptive plan. Instead, this work proclaims that God’s covenants are irrevocable, His promises unbroken, and His redemptive plan unified in Christ.

With scholarly depth and pastoral conviction, this book traces God’s covenant faithfulness through:

• From Adam to Abram – humanity’s fall, God’s promise, and the Abrahamic covenant as the hinge of redemptive history.

• Israel Chosen – not for privilege but for purpose, called as a light to the nations.

• Judah Refined – the line of promise leading to David and the Messiah.

• The Sermon on the Mount – fulfillment, not abolition, of God’s covenant.

• Jesus the Son of David, Son of Abraham – the culmination of Israel’s story in the Messiah.

• Romans 11 and the Olive Tree – Gentiles grafted in, not replacing Israel but sharing in the root.

• Galatians, Ephesians, and the Mystery of Inclusion – one gospel, one household of faith.

• The Tribes in Revelation – the future hope of Israel and the faithfulness of God.

• The Parables and Prophets – judgment, refinement, but not replacement.

Through careful exegesis, comparative theology, and covenantal integration, Fulfilled, Not Replaced restores dignity to Israel’s continuing role in God’s plan while affirming the Church’s participation by grace. It challenges the arrogance of replacement theology and calls believers back to humility, gratitude, and covenant faithfulness.

This book is for pastors, teachers, students, and all who seek to understand how God’s covenant with Abraham embraces both Jew and Gentile. It invites readers to reject division and stand firm in the truth that fulfillment in Christ does not abolish what God has spoken—it confirms it.
