		Thus, according to supersessionism, the Jews are either no longer considered to be God's chosen people, or their proper calling is frustrated pending their acceptance of Jesus as the promised Messiah.
		The traditional form of supersessionism does not theorize a replacement; instead it argues that Israel has been superseded only in the sense that the Church has been entrusted with the fulfillment of the promises of which Jewish Israel is the trustee.
		Several liberal Protestant groups have formally renounced supersessionism, and affirm that Jews, and perhaps other non-Christians, have a valid way to find God within their own faith, which according to many breaks from mainstream Protestant teaching (for example sola fide).

	Supersessionism
		Supersessionism is the general Christian Mishnaic doctrine, if you will, that implies or outright states that Christianity has superseded Judaism.
		Not all hold the view of supersessionism, of course, but it is a common belief amongst Catholicism and the many denominations that stem from the Reformation.
		This “gentilizing” of the New Testament and allegorizing of the “Old” is one of the chief components that maintains supersessionism, largely because Christian talmudism allows the Pauline comments to be used to establish doctrines, a talmudism now robbed of the original Jewish meaning.

	Supersessionism

		Thus, according to supersessionism, the Jews are supposedly either, no longer considered to be God's Chosen people or, their proper calling is frustrated pending their acceptance of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah.
		Conservative Christian groups that reject supersessionism usually believe in dispensations and hold that at a future time God will return his focus to the Jewish nation, citing Romans 11.

		Kendall Soulen, for example, claims that the rejection of supersessionism is "fraught with profound implications for the whole range of Christian theological reflection."[6] Craig A. Blaising asserts that issues related to supersessionism affect the doctrines of God, anthropology, Christology, ecclesiology, and eschatology.
		Supersessionism is important to Christology since it affects the significance given to Jesus' Jewishness and the Jewish titles He carried such as "Messiah of Israel" and "Son of David."[11] Blaising, for instance, believes that supersessionism has not given proper significance to the "Jewishness of Jesus":
		As Gabriel J. Fackre explains, retributive supersessionism "holds that the rejection of Christ both eliminates Israel from God's covenant love and provokes divine retribution."[30] This form of supersessionism asserts that Israel is permanently punished and rejected because of its refusal to believe in Christ.

	Jewish-Christian Relations :: Qumran and Supersessionism — And the Road Not Taken
		In such a model the supersessionism would have been overcome by a benevolent typology: There is a familiar shape to God’s ways with the world, God’s ever repeated attempts at the mending of what was broken, even restoring the imago dei in which humanity had been created.
		The irony with this type of supersessionism is, of course, that it is chemically free from any conscious anti-Judaism, but this is “achieved” by making the Jews and the Jewish community invisible, as if they did not exist.
		In order to break the spine and the spell of supersessionism, we should carefully think about whether that habit of claiming continuity must not be coupled with an awareness that new things do emerge, developments that do not call for the legitimizing or de-legitimizing of the Other.

		Supersessionism is expressed in a variety of ways.

		Supersessionism (also known as displacement theology), along with the triumphalist view that accompanies it, is a collection of attitudes, prejudices, and stereotypes that has plagued the Church for two millennia.
		As a consequence of that rejection, God invalidated the covenant with Israel, replaced the Law of Moses with the Law of Christ, made a new and eternal covenant with the Church, and made Christians the exclusive and rightful heirs of all God's promises.

	Dispensationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dispensationalism is an interpretive framework for understanding the overall flow of the Bible, and is frequently contrasted with an opposing interpretation: Supersessionism (also referred to as Replacement Theology).
		In simplistic terms, Supersessionism posits that Christianity replaces Judaism, whilst Dispensationalism teaches that Christianity restores lost elements of Judaism.
		Thus, while it is at odds with traditional supersessionism (which was formulated to discourage directly carrying over Jewish practice into the Christian Church), dispensationalism generally is markedly at odds with modern religious pluralism, which is typified by the view that proselytism of the Jews is a form of anti-Semitism.

	Supersessionism ("Replacement theology") - OD Board
		The traditional form of supersessionism does not theorize a replacement; and argues rather, that Israel has been superceded only in the sense that, the Church has been entrusted with the fulfillment of the promises of which Jewish Israel is the trustee.
		All Western Christian sects and denominations have held this belief, which has served not only as the explanation for why believers in Christ should not become Jews, but is also the rationale for attempting the conversion of Jews to Christianity.
		This view is not unanimous, and other leaders in the Catholic Church have since issued other official proclamations which reject this view, and affirm that Christian faith in Jesus Christ, including belief that he is God in the Trinitarian sense, is the only way of salvation for any human being.

		Supersessionism is a technical term in the study of religion.
		Supersessionism is the doctrine/belief that a particular religion has superseded an earlier religion or religions because it is (a) truer (indeed, uniquely true) and (b) better (which, for a believer, would necessarily follow from (a)).
		One of Islam's basic doctrines is that it is not only a historical successor to Judaism and Christianity but has also superseded them because it is uniquely true: in other words, where its doctrines diverge from those of the earlier monotheisms, Islam is uniquely correct and the other two are simply wrong.

		First, economic supersessionism makes the claim that “the ultimate obsolescence of carnal Israel is an essential feature of God’s one overarching economy of redemption for the world.”20The people of Israel of the “Old Testament”; have become obsolete in God’s salvific plans for the world, obsolete because supplanted by Jesus and, by extension, the church.
		The punitive form of supersessionism helped to shape the religious ideologies which underwrote the persecution of Jews in Christendom, god's punitive abrogation of the covenant taken as a model for human action against Jewish communities.
		Punitive supersessionism in particular has become morally problematic in the post–Holocaust era, with the way it can be easily used to legitimize violent acts against Jews as an imitation of or participation in God’s wrath against Jews.

		These Christian intellectuals are articulating what a cynic might call "supersessionism lite." Instead of treating Jews as conversion opportunities, they emphasize learning from them and trying to understand the world from a Jewish perspective.
		The shift away from supersessionism is best articulated in the influential 2001 essay "Salvation Is From the Jews" (a quotation from John 4:22), by Richard John Neuhaus, the Catholic priest who edits the journal First Things.
		In this camp with Neuhaus and Wilson are Notre Dame's George Marsden, Wake Forest's Nathan Hatch, and Yale's Harry Stout.

	Book Review—Longer Version - Jews for Jesus
		Surely one direction of overcoming supersessionism without concluding that all is well in the Jewish community, is to consider the differences in the covenants with Moses and with Abraham.
		To be sure, supersessionism, especially where it has led to anti-Semitism, has been a blot on the church (though also left out of discussion is the possibility that someone can sincerely believe that the Church has replaced Israel, and yet foster a genuine love for Jews).
		Jewish and Gentile believers alike would be better served by voices that reject the bad fruits of supersessionism while simultaneously affirming the need for proclaiming the Good News to Jews and Gentiles—and in the context of a body of Jewish and Gentile believers that is far more unified in actual practice than Kinzer allows for.

		Not only does supersessionism attempt to discard the very basis of the Christian faith but in doing so we are then left with a New Testament absent of much of its meaning.
		After renouncing supersessionism and its Jewish equivalent, dubbed the counter-supersessionisms, Novak takes the reader on a short tour through the need of Judaism for understanding Christian theology.
