ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts described in the preceding chapters of this book. The book draws a very close correlation between the Church and the promised kingdom of God, leaving out Judaism's alternative relation to the kingdom. It discernes the three major forms of supersessionism, evaluated it as a hermeneutical and theological problem within the Roman Catholic tradition, and enumerated the ways that it has been challenged in both popular and official Roman Catholic documents since Vatican II. The book explores the critical question of whether the original eschatological millenarianism of the Church was ever formally denounced by the Catholic Church since its shift, or ever declared a heresy. Theologians are called to discover new ways the traditional millenarian hermeneutical principles as an exercise in ad fontes theology, especially in light of its promise regarding postsupersessionist, Christian theologies of Judaism.
