How Should Christians Think about Israel?: A Quick Guide to God's Covenants, Biblical Prophecy, and the Jewish People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780802439833)

Should Christians support the modern state of Israel?
How should we view Israel, the Jewish people, and the church?
What makes Israel so special?

Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God's people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God's plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland?

A biblical worldview ought to clarify our confusion and guide our viewpoints. How Should Christians Think about Israel? seeks to answer our questions, using a scriptural outlook rather than a political perspective. With the Bible as his guide, Dr. Michael Rydelnik takes readers to ancient prophecies and their fulfillment in modern times, exploring Israel's unique identity and the special role Israel will play in God's plan.

This essential resource provides clear and sensible answers to all your questions about Israel and the Jewish people. Having served as Professor of Jewish Studies and Bible at Moody Bible Institute for more than 30 years, Dr. Rydelnik is uniquely able to bring scriptural insight and practical positions to the controversial and confusing subject of Israel and the Jewish people.
