The promise of the inheritance of the land is one of the most important promises of Israel. How does this situation evolve after Christ's crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension? Commentaries demonstrate that explanations of the NT inheritance depend heavily on the interpretation of Israel and the hermeneutical views concerning the OT promises of the land. In my lecture I investigate three main views on the Christian inheritance: (1) the inheritance replaces the promise of the land and is spiritually realised today; (2) the inheritance redefines the promise of the land to the new creation, which is both, physically and spiritually, realised in the present and the future; and (3) the inheritance does not nullify or replace the promise of the land and is fulfilled as well in the earthly Canaan as in the new creation. I will specifically focus on the extent to which these views influence our theological thinking about Israel. In the elaboration of this, shifts within Christian theology call for vigilance against a replacement theology and against a one-sided dispensationalism. I will argue that we must guard against spiritualisation, generalisation, and evaporation of what God has promised in all concreteness to Israel.

Analysis of the Palestinian liberation struggle and the conundrum of modern political Zionism tends to focus on politics and history. But other forces are at work, related to beliefs and feelings deeply embedded in Judeo-Christian tradition. The revisionist Christian theology that emerged following the Nazi Holocaust attempted to correct the legacy of Christian anti-Semitism. In the process it has fostered an unquestioning support of the State of Israel that undermines efforts to achieve peace in the region. The conflict in Christian thought between a commitment to universal justice and the granting to Jews a superior right to historic Palestine permeates the current discourse and is evidenced in the work of even the most politically progressive thinkers. The article reviews the work of post WWII and contemporary Christian and Jewish theologians and discusses the emergence of a global, ecumenical movement in support of a just peace.

Palestinian Arabs as Co-Heirs of the Abrahamic Promise: Revisiting a Literal, Unconditional Interpretation2023 •
A majority of American evangelicals interpret God's promise to give a certain land to Abraham's descendants both literally and unconditionally (see Gen 12:2-3 and Gen 15). Because the promise is literal, Abraham's living descendants are the rightful heirs of the promised land; because it is unconditional, this right belongs to Abraham's biological descendants regardless of their behavior, beliefs, or other changeable factors. Evangelicals who support Israel as a Jewish nation-state do so largely in response to this way of reading the biblical Abrahamic promise. Meanwhile, others express alarm at what this implies for Arabs who live there, as well as for those who have been compelled to leave. The result is an impasse in Christian political posture toward the role of Arabs in the modern state of Israel, seemingly with no hope of resolution apart from a seismic shift in approaches to biblical hermeneutics. This article argues, however, that even a literal, unconditional reading of the Abrahamic promise, when followed to its logical end, leads necessarily to the welcoming of modern Arabs in the promised land. Without minimizing the importance of hermeneutical differences among Christians, the article shows that these do not need to be resolved before an unqualified advocacy for the welcoming of Arabs, both in Israel and elsewhere, can become standard among all Christians.
