Abstract:
The Vatican II declaration on Judaism, Nostra aetate § 4, “professes that all who believe in Christ, Abraham’s sons according to faith, are included in this Patriarch’s call.” Yet this vocation contains a double promise : a descendance and a land. If ecclesiology has been able to think anew about the notion of the people of God, the promise of the land has become a taboo subject because of the creation of the State of Israel. However, the political dimension is inherent in Judaism. In addition, Christianity had interpreted the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple and the exile of the Jews in theological terms. Can it relegate their return to the exclusively secular domain ? This essay reflects on the notion of fulfillment in relation to the restoration of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel and then questions whether the land forms part of the notion of the patrimony shared by Christians and Jews.
