'''Dual-covenant theology''' or '''two-covenant theology''' is a belief espoused by some [[Christians]] that the [[covenant]] of the [[Old Testament]] still applies to [[Jews]], while [[Jesus]]' new covenant is meant for [[gentiles]]. Proponents of the dual-covenant view tend to be indifferent toward or even opposed to [[evangelism|evangelizing]] to the Jewish people, often saying that "Jews don't need Jesus".
Dual-covenant beliefs are opposed to the traditional Christian (and [[Messianic Judaism|Messianic Jewish]]) view that Jesus is the Jewish [[messiah]] as foretold in the Old Testament. While a relatively new invention within Christian circles, Jewish [[theologians]] have promoted a dual-covenant way of thinking for centuries, typically in response to Christian attempts at proselytizing.
