| Description: |
The situation in modern-day Israel raises questions for many Christians. In "Chosen?" Brueggemann explores these issues and provides candid commentary about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Are modern Israeli citizens the descendants of the Israelites in the Bible whom God called chosen? Was the promise of the land to Moses permanent and irrevocable? What about others living in the Promised Land? How should we read the Bible in light of the modern situation? Who are the Zionists and what do they say?
Brueggemann addresses the main questions people have with reguards to what the Bible has to say about the ongoing debate. The book includes a question and answer session with Brueggemann, a glossary of terms, a study guide for four sessions, and guidelines for respectful dialogue. |
