| Summary: | Set against the background of accusations of racism and anti-Semitism, this article examines Abraham Kuyper’s vision of the Jews. His theology turns out to be an intriguing combination of supersessionist and chiliastic accents. He expected the conversion of the Jews and even the restoration of their priority as a nation, albeit as a feature of the new creation. Kuyper’s vision of the Jews is interrelated with his main theological and political accents. It proves rewarding insight regarding three contemporary challenges: persisting theological differences concerning Israel, increasing anti-Semitism, and criticisms of the state of Israel by Western churches. |
