Description
Jesus and the Land: A New Testament Challenge to "Holy Land" Theology by Gary M. Burge explores how the New Testament views the concept of land, particularly in relation to its interpretation and relevance to modern-day claims in Israel-Palestine. The relationship between 'land' and 'theology' has been a significant motif within Jewish tradition since the patriarchal era, with the promise of land being a key aspect of the covenant with Abraham. This book examines the New Testament's perspective on this idea, providing insight into how it has been understood in various ways over time. Accessible and non-technical, Jesus and the Land offers a biblical view on modern-day claims to the land, helping Christians form their own informed opinions on the subject.
