Biblical Feasts, Supersessionism / Replacement Theology all meet in this book to answer a vital question for the church today. Are God's appointed times in Scripture only Israel's past, or are they still central to Christian faith and practice now?

Biblical Feasts and Supersessionism: God's Appointed Times in the Debate over Replacement Theology shows how views of Israel and the church have shaped the way Christians read the feasts, often without realizing it. It weaves together three key themes in a clear, accessible way: the biblical feasts, supersessionism (replacement theology), and the ongoing relationship between Israel and the church.

Rooted in close exegesis of the Bible and careful biblical theology, this book:

Explores Leviticus 23 in depth, showing how Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost (Weeks), Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles are revealed as "the feasts of the LORD" and "holy convocations," not merely "Jewish holidays." Traces how Jesus, the apostles, and the early Jewish believers related to the biblical feasts, from Passover and Tabernacles in the Gospels to Pentecost in Acts. Explains and evaluates the three main forms of supersessionism / replacement theology (punitive, economic, and structural), and shows how each has influenced Christian views of Israel and the feasts. Surveys church history from the early church fathers through the Reformation to modern theology, revealing how Israel and God's appointed times were often sidelined, with serious consequences for Jewish‑Christian relations. Introduces post‑supersessionist and Messianic Jewish perspectives that affirm God's ongoing purposes for Israel, fully confess Jesus as Messiah, and see the biblical feasts as theologically rich for all believers, even when observed differently under the new covenant. Offers a constructive, post‑supersessionist reading of the feasts, arguing that God remains faithful to His covenant with Israel, that the church (Jews and Gentiles in Messiah) is grafted into Israel's story rather than replacing it (Romans 11), and that the feasts still point to Christ and God's purposes for history.

This is not a call to legalism and not a Hebrew Roots manifesto. It is a careful biblical and historical study that:

Critiques replacement theology without attacking individuals or denominations. Distinguishes serious theological critique from anti‑Jewish caricature. Encourages Christians to rediscover the biblical feasts as "appointed times" that reveal God's redemptive plan (past, present, and future).

If you are a pastor, Bible teacher, seminary student, or thoughtful believer wrestling with questions like:

Has the church replaced Israel? What is supersessionism, really? How should Christians view Israel, the church, and the feasts of the LORD? Are Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles still relevant under the new covenant?

Then Biblical Feasts and Supersessionism: God's Appointed Times in the Debate over Replacement Theology is written for you. With clear structure, Bible‑based exegesis, and deep respect for both Scripture and the Jewish people who have preserved it, this book invites you into a richer understanding of God's appointed times, Israel's enduring role, and the fullness of redemption in Christ.

Read it slowly, with an open Bible and an open heart, and let God's faithfulness to His covenants reshape how you see Israel, the church, and the feasts of the LORD.
