Quick takeaways

Progressive Covenantalism and the Relationship Between National Israel and the Church
Progressive covenantalism views national Israel and the church as distinct but connected. It argues that the promises and covenant blessings given to Israel have reached their fulfillment in Christ, and the church, consisting of believers from both Jewish and Gentile backgrounds, is now the eschatological people of God. This view sees Israel's distinct sovereignty as prophetically insignificant and emphasizes the importance of Christ as the true Israel and the fulfillment of Old Testament promises.
