Reclaiming the Jewish Foundations of Christian Faith - Jerusalem Summit

A Compilation of Theological Teachings on the Church • Israel • Antisemitism

In the wake of the October 7 terror attacks on Israel, antisemitism has once again resurged around the world, raising urgent questions for the Church about its relationship with the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, and its own biblical heritage.

In June 2026, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem convened the inaugural Jerusalem Summit to address these significant developments and challenges facing the global Church. The conference brought together Christian and Jewish theologians and scholars from diverse traditions and backgrounds to examine the biblical, historical, and theological questions shaping the current conversation surrounding Israel, the Church, and antisemitism.

The Summit also provided an opportunity to re-examine the legacy of the Council of Nicaea, one of the key turning points in Jewish-Christian relations 1,700 years ago, and to consider its continuing significance for the Church today.

This volume brings together the formal presentations submitted by the speakers at the inaugural Jerusalem Summit. Written for pastors, theologians, Bible students, and Christian leaders, these essays combine rigorous scholarship with practical reflection on some of the most pressing theological and cultural issues facing the Church today.

Readers are invited to explore the Jewish foundations of the Christian faith, consider the biblical relationship between the Church and Israel, and reflect on the responsibility of Christians in confronting antisemitism and understanding the Jewish roots of their faith.

Topics include:

• The biblical and theological relationship between the Church and Israel
• The Jewish foundations of the Christian faith
• The rise of antisemitism and its implications for the Church
• Jewish-Christian relations throughout history
• The legacy and significance of the Council of Nicaea
• Contemporary theological perspectives on Israel and the Jewish people

A valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the biblical, historical, and theological relationship between the Church, Israel, and the Jewish people.
