Replacement Theology

What is the relationship between Israel and the Church? An issue of great significance has sprung up in modern times concerning the question of the Church's relationship to Israel.

What is the Church's relationship to Israel? Does it replace Israel in the Lord's covenant relationship? How does Israel in turn relate to the Church according to Scripture?

Some solutions seem to indicate the Church has actually replaced Israel in a covenant relationship with the Lord.
