New Christendom Press Announces ‘The Seed of Abraham’ By Andrew Isker

Books like Andrew Isker’s The Seed of Abraham are important, and we are by no means oversaturated with them. New Christendom Press just put out the pre-order for Pastor Andrew Isker’s newest work. The publisher itself notes that the book will almost certainly be labeled “replacement theology” or even “outright antisemitism.” That does not change the fact that it is necessary for our day.

For too long, American Evangelicalism has been shaped by twentieth-century dispensationalism (not even the 19th century version). That system teaches that the modern Jewish people still hold a separate covenantal status and an unconditional claim to the land promises given to Abraham.

Isker takes that claim apart carefully and biblically. He shows that throughout Scripture, covenant membership has never rested on physical descent alone. God distinguished between Ishmael and Isaac, Esau and Jacob. The pattern continues: Hebrews became Israelites, Israelites became Jews, and in Christ both Jew and Gentile are made into one new people: Christians. The seed promised to Abraham is Jesus Christ Himself, and all who are united to Him by faith are the true heirs of the promise.

That is not a novel invention. It is the historic Christian reading recovered for a generation that has largely forgotten it. The book closes by examining the theological, cultural, and political consequences of recovering this understanding. Those consequences matter. When large segments of the church treat a modern nation-state as the ongoing center of God’s redemptive plan, it distorts both our reading of Scripture and our priorities as Christians.

Isker has already given us The Boniface Option and co-authored Christian Nationalism. This new volume continues that same clear-eyed work of recovering what Scripture actually says rather than what popular evangelical culture has preferred to believe for the last hundred years. Pre-order it while the discount is available. We need more books that refuse to flinch from the text, even when the text makes people uncomfortable. Christ is King, and His people are those who belong to Him by faith.
