Whose Promised Land?: The Continuing Crisis Over Israel and PalestineThis text digs beneath the Israel and Palestine conflict to examine the roots of the two cultures. The author, Colin Chapman, explores the history of the two peoples, and of the Jewish settlement in the region. He acknowledges the religious roots of the feelings on both sides and looks to the Bible to handle modern events. The book challenges many assumptions, including those of Christian Zionists, before presenting Chapman's own personal answers to the crisis. |
