Description
The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has profoundly affected the Middle East for almost 70 years, and shows no sign of ending. It remains a huge political and humanitarian problem. Writing from the perspective of someone who has lived and worked in the Middle East at various times since 1968, the author explains the roots of the problem and outlines the arguments of the main parties involved. He also explores legitimate and illegitimate ways of using the Bible in relation to the conflict.
Advance Praise
"This is simply an essential book that ought to be in the hands of every thoughtful Christian who cares about the world, the Middle East, and the Bible.
Professor Gary Burge, New Testament Wheaton college and graduate School
“A deep, long look at the issues surrounding the crisis in the historic land common to the three great monotheistic religions, Whose Promised Land? is recommended as a fine introduction to the history of the conflict.”
Relevant Magazine
“Colin Chapman has long been acknowledged as providing a strong intellectual voice to Christian concern for Palestinians, and this book will undoubtedly reinforce that.”
Dr Jane Clements, Director, Council of Christians and Jews

I struggled with this one a lot because, as much as I hate to admit it, I know very little about this conflict aside from the very basics. Both sides were presented, but there is still so much I have to learn before I could really feel comfortable in discussing this book, or the conflict in general. I still will seek out other materials, based on this need to know more about it.
