207 p. : maps ; 21 cm. LANY OF US IN THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY live with a troubled conscience. We are learning that our vision is not what it should be. Our excitement at living in 'the last days' and our ready support of Israel have led us to overlook some devastating facts about our faith, the Middle East, and what God would have us do. In some cases, we have not been told things-important things about life as it really is in the Middle East. "How do I embrace my commitment to Judaism, a commitment to which I am bound by the New Testament, when I sense in my deepest being that there is a profound injustice afoot in Israel? How do I celebrate the birth of this nation Israel when I also mourn the suffering of Arab Christians who are equally my brothers and sisters in Christ? And how do I love those Palestinian Muslims who are deeply misunderstood by all parties in this conflict?" - From the Introduction Who Are God's People in the Middle East? is an engaging and balanced inquiry into the biblical and historical issues that underlie the current relations between the State of Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank region. It is a personal exploration by a scholar who has lived, worked, and studied in the Middle East among both Jewish and Arab friends caught in a crossfire not of their making. This plea for balance and fairness is a book every Christian needs to read to understand better the biblical and ethical issues behind today's headlines Prophecies Jewish-Arab relations Israel 261.870956940310386918 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 261.87095694 Bur w E12000752 Non Fiction 261.87095694 Bur w are.jpg 21548 1993-04-29 00:00:00 2026-03-03 17:26:51 machine generated
