<p><strong>This book is grounded in careful reflection on Scripture deep theological sensitivity an informed awareness of history and current affairs as well as a Christian love for Israel.</strong><br /> <br /> Historically anti-Semitism has been ingrained in much Christian theology and practice. Is this the result of NT teaching or an alien intrusion into Christianity? What is a Christian attitude towards the Jewish people and towards the State of Israel? What is currently going on in the Middle East and does Israel still play a role in God s purposes for the redemption of the world? This book seeks to set out a biblical and theological case for the ongoing importance of the Jewish people in God s plans for creation and to explain something of the complex and controversial situation in the modern day Israeli state.<br /> <em><strong>Publisher.</strong></em><br /> </p>
