Publisher Synopsis
'Tough questions with robust responses. Professor Burge combines in a unique way both the honesty of someone struggling with the realities of Israel today and the discipline of a New Testament academic committed to responding in the light of Scripture. The Land's problems and its people, scripture and its message - all come vividly to life in this provocative book. A powerful story and a passionate argument.' Peter Walker, Lecturer in New Testament at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. 'Christians must love modern Israel the way Isaiah and Amos loved their people and their land, passionately arguing for national righteousness and weeping over injustice and moral decay. Whose Land? Whose Promise? is an excellent introduction to the complications of geography, history and geopolitics that have wounded and weakened both Israelis and Palestinians. But above all the book challenges us to love and to love concretely. David Neff, Editor of Christianity Today. Read more...
