The relationship between Israel and the church continues to be a controversial topic led by this question: Does the church replace, supersede, or fulfill the nation of Israel in God's plan, or will Israel be saved and restored with a unique identity and role?
In Has the Church Replaced Israel?, author Michael J. Vlach evaluates the doctrine of replacement theology (also known as supersessionism) down through history but ultimately argues in favor of the nonsupersessionist position. Thoroughly vetting the most important hermeneutical and theological issues related to the Israel/church relationship, Vlach explains why, "there are compelling scriptural reasons in both testaments to believe in a future salvation and restoration of the nation Israel."

The New Creation Model: A Paradigm for Discovering God's Restoration Purposes from Creation to New Creation

This book is an in-depth look at two models of God's purposes and eternal life--the New Creation Model and the Spiritual Vision Model. The Spiritual Vision Model focuses on individual and spiritual issues and views eternal life as an escape from earth to a forever spiritual existence. The New Creation Model views God's purposes as multi-dimensional and comprehensive. And it sees eternal life as embodied existence on a renewed earth in God's presence with social and cultural activities. This book is a robust case for the New Creation Model as the proper paradigm for grasping God's purposes and the nature of eternal life.

Is our view of God’s purposes too small? What if God’s plans for the world are far grander than we imagined? 
Throughout church history, Christians have perceived God’s purposes and eternal life from one of two models. The Spiritual Vision Model focuses exclusively on individual and spiritual issues in this age and sees eternal life as an escape from earth to a forever spiritual existence. 
In contrast, the New Creation Model embraces a comprehensive and multi-dimensional vision of God’s intentions, not only for humanity, but for all creation. And it presents eternal life as vibrant life on a restored earth in God’s presence with social and cultural activities. 
In his book, The New Creation Model, Michael Vlach offers a compelling case for the New Creation Model as the biblical and holistic paradigm for understanding God’s restoration designs. This fuller understanding empowers the reader to grasp God’s plans with clarity, hope, and vision.

He Will Reign Forever offers a biblical theology of the kingdom of God, explaining key Bible passages concerning the timing and nature of God's kingdom. this includes an explanation of texts from Genesis 1 through Revelation 22. Vlach offers a readable yet thorough treatment of God's kingdom program that takes into account progressive revelation and how God's kingdom plan unfolds throughout history.

Evangelical scholarship has had over fifty years of extensive (and at times, heated) discussion over the usage of the Old Testament in New Testament. However, now with the appearance of Professor Vlach’s book THE OLD IN THE NEW: UNDERSTANDING HOW THE NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORS QUOTED THE OLD TESTAMENT, perhaps we have now come to a grand summary of that extensive dialogue. Michael J. Vlach has carefully summarized seven key positions held by various evangelicals (including my own view) and has given a legitimate critique of each view. But more than that, he has also taken up a wide sample of most, if not all, of the passages usually raised on this subject and has given a reasonable solution in Scripture text after Scripture text—in a succinct, but credible manner. I cannot endorse Vlach’s work too highly, for I found that he had hit the nail on the head in case after case. In years to come, theological students and pastors will turn to this excellent treatment of this subject and they will find it is exactly what they had been looking for. Thank you, Professor, for carrying out this task so successfully.\nWalter C. Kaiser, Jr., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Hamilton, Massachusetts

A Festschrift is a celebratory volume that welcomes scholarly contributions from an honoree's colleagues at various institutions where they have taught, former pupils, and friends in the guild.

Larry's contributions in the classroom and through his academic writings have often focused on issues related to historical theology, systematic theology, and dispensational hermeneutics. The essays in this volume seek to contribute to these areas of great concern to him and to us.
