What is Replacement Theology?

Replacement theology is the idea that Christians have replaced Jews as God’s chosen people.

Replacement theology came about partly because of the conflict between synagogues and Christian churches in the earliest centuries. This conflict appears in John 9, where the man born blind is cast out of the synagogue because he said that Jesus healed him. Later, as the church became the main religious force in the Roman Empire, hostility against Judaism influenced some leading church theologians to condemn and even demonize the Jewish people. Thus began the spread of anti-Semitism through much of Christian Europe.

Posting for a few reasons, including my own personal interest in the Orthodox Church. I hadn’t known that Mr. Jatras was an Orthodox Christian, until I followed him on Twitter a while back. I recently found his writings on the Chinese Uighurs, which he also mentions in this article. Someday I will have to put together a list of people who I admire. It won’t a long list, since I’m still new to geopolitics, but Jim Jatras will definitely be on that list!
