Replacement Theology
The teaching that the church has replaced Israel in God’s purposes. Paul’s argument in Romans 9–11 should have precluded it: the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable (Rom 11:29).
For pastors
The Jews Cannot Be Erased
What Rising Antisemitism Reveals About a Culture and a Church in Peril
Coming late October 2026
From Darrow
You cannot hate the root and love the fruit.
Pastor tool (suggested, not prescribed): an eight-week sermon series mapped to the book’s eight parts — plus a study guide already in the back of the book. Eight parts, twenty-seven chapters.
On October 7, 2023, the world witnessed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust — and then watched much of the world celebrate it. Crowds chanted. University presidents could not say genocide-calls were wrong. A couple of weeks before he began writing, Darrow was talking with a young friend and mentee. The young man told him that young men in his Bible study group, professing Christians in a solid evangelical church, had been expressing support for the Palestinians and for Hamas, influenced by social media posts, and sounded, in his telling, very much like young antisemites. That conversation produced a restless night and a morning conviction that he needed to do something. It is why this book exists.
That same hatred would later assassinate Charlie Kirk—a man who spoke boldly about the gospel, truth, freedom, and the biblical roots of Western civilization. Introduction
Christians Are Next. This hatred does not stop with the Jews. Chapter 9
Three theological failures still present
The Sacred-Secular Divide
Faith treated as private; the public treatment of Jews as someone else’s business. “Silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality. It is complicity.” After October 7: “the same silence, produced by the same formation, in a different century.”
Loss of the Hebrew Roots
A church that has forgotten its Hebrew roots has forgotten the people through whom its faith came to it. When it no longer reads the Old Testament as the living Word of God addressed to the church, when it no longer understands itself as a wild olive branch grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel (Romans 11), it no longer sees the Jewish people as the bearers of the covenant through which it received the Scriptures, the Messiah, and the moral framework of the gospel.
Eight-week series — a pastor tool (suggested)
This is a suggested series for pastors, not a curriculum already prescribed in the book. Eight parts, twenty-seven chapters. A four-week October alternate (also a suggested pastor tool, not prescribed) maps four Sundays onto Parts I, II, III–IV, and V.
Week 1 · Part I
The Question: A Perennial Mystery
October 7 + Weiss. Introduction: Charlie Kirk. Chapter 9: Christians Are Next. This hatred does not stop with the Jews.
Week 2 · Part II
The Jewish Revolution: The Birth of a Moral Universe
Abraham. Imago Dei. Cahill. The moral universe the Jews gave the West.
Week 3 · Part III
The Reaction: Why the World Resists
Hitler versus the Ten Commandments. Horn: the world loves dead Jews.
Week 4 · Part IV
When the Gift Becomes a Target
Isaiah 5:20. Romans 1. Calling murder “resistance.”
Week 5 · Part V
The Church and the Crisis
1933. The Sacred-Secular Divide. Bonhoeffer and the remnant.
Week 6 · Part VI
Current Frontlines
Campus. Words that matter: Hamas and shalom.
Week 7 · Part VII
The Bigger Story: Civilizational War
Not a racial prejudice, not an economic grievance, but a worldview war.
Week 8 · Part VIII
Call to Action and Hope
Presence / Voice / Action. Psalm 122:6.
Presence · Voice · Action
Only the church can name this as an assault on the God of Abraham. This is not a call to endorse every policy of the Israeli government, any more than support for the persecuted church in China requires endorsing every policy of the Chinese government-in-exile.
Presence
When Jewish communities in your city are targeted, the church shows up.
Voice
Preach Romans 9–11. Name October 7 as murder, not “resistance.” Chapter 9: Christians Are Next. This hatred does not stop with the Jews.
Action
Educate. Examine how your people were formed. Pray Psalm 122:6. Support the work that actually stands with the Jewish people.
Jewish friendships
Not for the purpose of evangelism—that instrumentalizes the relationship and undermines trust—but for the purpose of genuine human connection. Chapter 17
Friendships “not for the purpose of evangelism—that instrumentalizes the relationship and undermines trust—but for the purpose of genuine human connection.” Become Righteous Gentiles in this generation.
The study guide is already in the book
The book already includes a study guide (4–6 questions per chapter) and a 90-minute leader’s guide. A glossary.
Germany in 1933 was 95 percent nominally Christian—54 percent Protestant, 41 percent Catholic. The Sacred-Secular Divide — a Greek dualism, not a biblical one — taught the church that public hatred of Jews was someone else’s problem. It was “the most catastrophic application of the Sacred-Secular Divide in the history of Christianity.” After October 7: the same silence, produced by the same formation, in a different century.

Understanding without action is simply a more educated form of complicity. We know. And because we know, our silence—if we are silent—is not ignorance. It is choice. This is the hour.
