Today I enjoyed visiting with Dr. Gerald McDermott. Dr. McDermott is an Anglican priest as well as a church historian and scholar who specializes in the theology of Jonathan Edwards. He has written dozens of books, eight of which focus on various elements of the life and legacy of Jonathan Edwards.  Today we talk about why Edwards was and still is important, and we focus on Edwards' unfinished book,  A History of Redemption. After many years of research, Dr. McDermott has written a book that seeks to finish what Edwards might have written had he lived to complete it (he tragically died at age fifty-four). We discuss Edwards further legacy, as well as why "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is both the best and the worst known sermon in American history.  A New History of Redemption Everyday Glory: The Revelation of God in All of Reality One Holy and Happy Society - the Public Theology of Jonathan Edwards Famous Stutterers

From before the beginning of time, God planned to call out a people from among the nations and to bring a redeemer from among them. For centuries, the followers of Yeshua forgot that the unfolding of this history of redemption centers on the people of Israel. Our guest today, Dr. Gerald McDermott, has written A New History of Redemption, a book that puts Israel back at the center of God's plan to save the world from sin and death. – Episode Timeline – 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Gerald R.

The Pudcast and co-hosts return thanks to the news coming out of the Middle East and stories about American Protestants' understanding of Israel and Jews. Co-hosts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Miles Smith⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Anglican), ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠D. G. Hart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Presbyterian), and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Korey Maas⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Lutheran) talk about eschatology, Protestant familiarity with Israel (thanks at least to the Old Testament), the degree to which confessional Protestants (unlike American men who think about Rome) think about Jerusalem. Among the items mentioned during this session are: Roland H. Bainton and Menachem Begin, "Luther and the Jews in Light of his Lectures on Genesis: An Exchange of Letters," Lutheran Theological Journal 17 (1983) 131-34; the documentary, When Jews Were Funny; Gerald McDermott's case for Christian Zionism; Gardiner H. Shattuck's recent book, Christian Homeland, on American Episcopalians in the Middle East; and Miles Smith's article on anti-Semitism and American patriotism.

Welcome to another episode of "That'll Preach"! In this thought-provoking installment, we dive into a topic that has ignited centuries of debate and reflection: "Has the Church Replaced Israel?" Join us as we explore the historical and theological dimensions of this complex issue, shedding light on its significance within Christianity. Dr. McDermott, a renowned theologian, offers his profound insights into the intricate relationship between the Church and Israel. Our conversation begins by tracing the roots of this theological inquiry back to the early days of the Church. We examine how interpretations have evolved over time and consider whether the Church, in embracing the teachings of Christ, has inherited the promises originally bestowed upon Israel. We also delve into scriptural passages and historical records as we dissect the contrasting viewpoints that have shaped this ongoing discourse. The heart of our discussion centers around the letters of the apostle Paul. Dr. McDermott guides us through Paul's intricate theological framework, helping us decipher whether Paul intended to establish a seamless continuity between the Church and Israel or if his message carried deeper complexities.  Dr. McDermott also turns our gaze towards the future: What do the various theological perspectives on the Church-Israel relationship mean for eschatology—the study of end times? What role does modern-day Israel play in God's redemptive purposes? McDermott helps us uncover how these interpretations influence believers' expectations of the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan. Whether you're a seasoned theologian or a curious seeker of knowledge, this discussion with Dr. McDermott is sure to broaden your horizons and deepen your understanding of one of Christianity's most enduring debates. Don't miss out—hit that play button and join us in exploring the past, present, and future of this compelling theological discourse! "That'll Preach" is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

“Once upon a time, I was a supersessionist,” admits today's guest, Dr. Gerald R. McDermott. But then his eyes were opened to a whole new perspective on the Bible. The missing piece was the centrality of Israel and the Jewish people. He now calls this the key to understanding Jesus, the gospel, and the whole Bible. His newfound perspective shaped his teaching as a seminary professor and can be found throughout the hundreds of articles and dozens of books he has authored since then, including Israel Matters and The New Christian Zionism. – Episode Timecode – 0:00 – Welcome from Damian and Jacob, who are enjoying the radiant colors of autumn. 7:13 – Dr. Gerald McDermott's journey beyond replacement theology. 11:44 – What particularities are there for an Anglican to overcome supersessionist bias? 13:18 – The influence of N.T.

He talks with keynote speakers like Hans Boersma, Adam MacLeod, and Gerald McDermott, as well as young leaders who are church planting and pastoring in the midst of today's cultural confusion. How does critical theory, issues on social justice and human sexuality, and the nature of truth affect the day to day life of local parishes struggling to survive? These big questions require time and teaching to think through, pray about, and implement. The Formed Conference is designed to help church leaders do just that! To find out more about Formed and how you can get involved, visit www.americananglican.org/formed

How Replacement Theology and Critical Race Theory are Attempting to Negatively Influence the Narrative about Israel in the American Church. Join Aaron Fruh in an Amazing Interview with World Renowned and Courageous Biblical Scholar Dr. Gerald McDermott

06/28/2021 – Gerald McDermott –Retired seminary professor, with a Biblical perspective of the contentious subject of Critical Race Theory.

Tula Jane and her Mother in the Wild read "Coyote: A Trickster Tale from the American Southwest", by Gerald McDermott.

A surprising number of Christians “prefer” the New Testament, almost ignoring the Old Testament. The result? We often fail to understand the Jewish Roots of Christianity. Not cool! When and how did the church split from the Jewish synagogue? How can we recover the Jewish Character of the Church universal? Don’t miss our conversation this week on The Land and the Book.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three times a day in prayer and each week on the Sabbath, Jews sustain and renew their special covenant with God. While no other nation has the same covenant as the Jews do, the idea of covenant―that a group of people can band together in obligation under God’s sovereignty―has inspired many other nations. From its earliest history, the people of America understood that they relied on divine Providence, and developed a civic culture that made it, as G.K. Chesterton famously put it, “a nation with the soul of a church.” Covenant, in other words, has always been at the heart of America’s national self-understanding.  It is the recovery of this Jewish idea, argue the Christian leaders Gerald McDermott and Derryck Green, that can help heal America’s racial divide. In a new book, McDermott, Green, and other contributors suggest that a return to America’s founding notion of covenant can help bring about racial reconciliation. Now, in conversation with Mosaic editor Jonathan Silver, McDermott and Green explore the idea of national covenant, how it has resonated throughout American history, and how it can help Americans once again see each other as equally made in the image of God.  Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.  

CRT (Carl R. Trueman) joins co-host Todd Pruitt, who is primed and ready for today’s discussion of…CRT! Critical Race Theory has seeped into the church—even reaching some more conservative branches of Protestantism—and it’s rapidly gaining ground. What is critical race theory? Carl makes the connection with identity politics as he describes his recent article that demonstrates CRT is another seductive facet of Marxism, trying to solve the problem of evil using oppressor/oppressed categories.  How should the church work through issues of race without failing to address the other challenges of our day? Are “victim and victimizer” biblical concepts? Don’t miss this timely conversation!

The United States is consumed with questions regarding race, the legacy of slavery, and the nature of social justice. Where are people of faith to turn?For most of the last two thousand years Christians have believed that God deals with nations as nations and enters into closer relations with societies that claim him as Lord. This belief in the national covenant, only recently out of fashion, is where Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, Jr. turned when faced with such questions in their own time.In this episode Acton’s Dan Hugger talks with Gerald McDermott, the editor of the new book Race and Covenant: Recovering the Religious Roots for American Reconciliation, about the idea of national covenant in scripture, history, and contemporary American society and how a revitalization of this idea could help lead to racial reconciliation.Race and Covenant: Recovering the Religious Roots for American Reconciliation - Gerald McDermottExcerpt from Race and Covenant - Gerald McDermottMisunderstanding Race and the Bible - Gerald McDermottRace and Redemption - Gerald McDermottWanted: Pastors with Courage - Gerald McDermott See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This White House is certainly not the first to offer a proposal for resolving the nearly eight-decade conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. And, judging by the response so far, Trump's proposal will likely not be the one to resolve this issue that has vexed American officials, and much of the world, since the 1960s. To understand why a solution has been so elusive, it's less essential to understand the specifics of the current plan on the table, than it is to understand those things that the Israelis and the Palestinians have long considered to be at stake. First, Israel's chief concern is its own security, not only from conventional military attacks at the hands of its many hostile neighbors, but also from terrorist attacks at the hands of non-state actors like Hamas.  A second, but just as central concern for both players in this conflict is the borders and nature of a Palestinian state.   A third concern is the status of Jerusalem, specifically, whether it will be the undivided capital of Israel or divided between both parties.   And finally, there is the question of what's known as “the right to return,” namely whether the estimated 4 million descendants of the Palestinian Arabs who fled what is now Israel in the aftermath of the 1947 Partition and subsequent wars should have the right to return, not only to the West Bank, but also to pre-1967 Israel.   Obviously, the questions of where to place borders and who ought to be considered security threats are interrelated concerns. And, making the already Herculean task only more difficult are the Israeli settlements on the West Bank, Palestinian harboring of bad actors, and a history of (to put it mildly) hatred and distrust. The Trump administration's plan is formally known as “Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People.” It runs fifty pages and offers very specific proposals. First, it rejects the “right of return,” a concern essential to Israel because the potential influx of millions of Arabs threatens its identity as a Jewish state and homeland.  This makes the proposal a non-starter for the Palestinians. Second, the plan would award virtually all of Jerusalem to Israel, while designating Abu Dis, a village bordering Jerusalem, as the capital of the Palestinian state.  Third, the map in the plan details the contours of the Palestinian state, granting to the Palestinians about 70 percent of the West Bank, plus Gaza and parts of the Negev Desert.  However, the current Israeli settlements would remain.  Also, according to the plan, the Palestinians would not be permitted their own military, and would be forced to renounce violence and disband Hamas. In exchange for this step toward Israeli security, they would receive $50 billion in economic assistance over 10 years.  How has “Peace to Prosperity” been received? Dr. Gerald McDermott, Anglican chair of Beeson Divinity School, told Christianity Today that it was “a realistic opportunity for peace.” He also noted the significant Arab support for the proposal, including “UAE, Oman, Bahrain, and Egypt.” Joel Rosenberg, co-founder of The Alliance for the Peace of Jerusalem, told Christianity Today  that the plan was “generous” to the Palestinians while giving the Israelis almost everything they wanted.   But others, including Arab Christians, disagreed. Dr. Salim Munayer of Musalaha Ministries, which promotes reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians based on biblical principles, told CT that “No Palestinian leader can accept this deal, because it doesn't meet our basic needs.”  Another Palestinian Evangelical, Daoud Kuttab, said that the plan “sounded more like a surrender dictate than a peace plan.”  More importantly, the Palestinian Authority's president Mahmoud Abbas called the plan a “conspiracy” and added “We say a thousand times over: no, no, no.” If this plan is conditioned on the Palestinians bringing Hamas in line, well, it's difficult to imagine that happening.   To paraphrase a former Canadian prime minister, if there was ever a place with “too much history” and “too little geography,” it's this part of the Middle East. That's why it's difficult to imagine that this plan will succeed where others have failed. Still, it is possible that it can be a step, even if a very small one, in a better direction. And so, we continue to follow the dictate of Psalm 122, and “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.”
