Church Fathers

The pre-Nicene Fathers generally do not read a national restoration of ethnic Israel into prophecy; Justin Martyr (Dialogue with Trypho 26) argues the promises transfer to the Church. Irenaeus (Against Heresies V.34) is an exception — he reads Romans 11 as predicting a literal restoration of Israel before the end. Jerome (Commentary on Isaiah) occasionally acknowledges a future Jewish return. The dominant pre-modern patristic reading is supersessionist, which complicates modern dispensationalist retrieval of these texts.
