Title: Partly True
Product review: The first half of David Holwerda's book was excellent, and he did a great job explaining from a covenant perspective how the church must be the new Israel. However, like so many, he took a wrong turn in the second half of the book toward a future fulfillment. Many commentaries and books on eschatology fall into this error because of the failure to understand that the new covenant was fully manifest after the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Saying that, "its full manifestation has been deferred," pg 105, is the same as saying that Christ work is incomplete, which is not a biblical teaching. I would recommend the book to Christians who want a better understanding of the church and Israel but be careful not to be led down the "second coming" will complete everything teaching. Jay Bugg
