Christians And A Land Called Holy

by Charles P. Lutz

Overview

The highly charged Israeli-Palestinian situation has strained Christian-Jewish relations and left Christians with mixed commitments. What's at stake for Christians there?

With journalistic clarity, and aided by photos and maps, Lutz and Smith provide a clear account of the situation and a compelling plea for Christian involvement in the area. Carefully sorting out the tangled historical and religious roots of the problems, they reveal the strong forces at work in the bitter and divisive clashes of the last fifty years, the driving biblical notions of election and covenant, the turmoils' affects on Palestinians (particularly Christians), and how, finally, Christians can help secure a future of justice and peace.
