Synopsis

So much heat has been generated by the subject of Israel and Palestine. It's a subject that will not go away, and it is crucial that Christians should have a clear grasp of both the spiritual and historical factors involved. This is a lively, entertaining, and provocative introduction for ordinary Christians to what is often a thorny subject. Steve Maltz takes you on a historical journey of the land of many names. From the Canaan of Abraham, to the Promised Land, via the Land of Milk and Honey, Israel and Judah, Judea and Samaria, Palestine, The Holy Land, Zion, Israel and the "Zionist Entity." At each stage we pause to consider what God is saying to all concerned.
