Since the calls of the Second Vatican Council, Roman Catholic
theologians have sought to overcome an overarching problem facing
Jewish-Christian relations, the concept of "supersessionism"; the
idea that God has revoked the spiritual and historical promises
made to the Jewish people in favour of granting those same
privileges to a predominantly Gentile Church. Israel, the Church,
and Millenarianism breaks new ground by applying an ancient
principle to the problem of Israel's "replacement": the early
Church's promotion of millennialism. Utilizing the best in
Patristic research, Aguzzi argues that these earliest Christian
traditions made room for the future of Israel because Christ's
reign in the Church was viewed as provisional to his historical
reign on earth-Israel's role in salvation history was and is not
yet complete. Aguzzi's research also opens the door for a greater
Catholic understanding of the millennial principle, not shying away
from its validity and relevance for understanding the importance of
safeguarding Jewish particularity, while concluding that the
Synagogue and the Church are indeed on a parallel trajectory;
"...what will their...[Israel's]...acceptance be but life from the
dead?" (Romans 11:15). Ultimately, the divine will is fulfilled
through both Christian and Jewish means, in history, while each
community is dependent, in different ways, upon the unfolding of
God's future and the coming Parousia of Christ.
