Zionism through Christian Lenses

Dear to the hearts of many Christians is the land of the Bible which today is convulsed by strife. Contradictory claims about the past present and future of this land can bewilder us. The essays in this volume invite Christians of every denomination to share in perspectives that are solidly grounded in Scripture and tradition yet serve as alternatives to the currently prevailing approaches. A Lutheran two Roman Catholics two Episcopalians (one of whom is also a member of the American Baptist Church) an Eastern Orthodox Christian and a Congregational (United Church of Christ) pastor explore the ramifications for today's ongoing crisis of ancient Israel's Covenant of the early church's theological insights and of the post-Reformation experiences of various branches of Christianity.
