Beyond Christian Zionism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a specially powerful testimony because it comes from someone who was for many years completely at home within the world of Christian Zionism. While Ian Stackhouse traces the stages in his journey towards a different way of using the Bible to understand the state of Israel, he shows his deep appreciation for Jewish culture, history, and religion, and speaks of his love for Israel. I hope that Christian Zionists of all kinds will read this book.”

Faiths in Conflict?

World Religions

“A remarkably perceptive and stimulating study from an author who is rooted in a Third World context and understands how issues of faith affect real issues in the lives of individual nations.”

Like Birds in a Cage

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This book is quite unique in the way that it combines a sound grasp of the history of Zionism, careful interpretation of the Bible, and firsthand, recent experience of everyday life for Palestinians living under occupation on the West Bank. David Crump understands Christian Zionists extremely well because he grew up as one, and because he reads and quotes what many Christian Zionist leaders have been writing in recent years. My hope and prayer is that this book will help American Christians of all kinds to wake up to the very significant ways in which Christian Zionism has contributed—and continues to contribute—to this tragic conflict. They might then be more able to challenge their government’s policies.”

The God of My Enemy

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

The Gospel and the Land of Promise

Theology

“The Christian world remains split down the middle on the issue of how to relate biblical teaching on the land to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here is a serious attempt by scholars of several different disciplines to wrestle with the question of how to read the Old Testament through the eyes of the New and in the light of the painful realities on the ground today. They have effectively thrown down to gauntlet to Dispensationalists and Christian Zionists of every kind: can they come up with equally detailed, heavy-weight scholarship to support their case?”

The Land of Christ

Theology

“Here is a powerful Palestinian Christian voice that addresses the harsh realities on the ground in Israel-Palestine today. Having lived through so much of the recent history and engaged in rigorous biblical study, Yohanna Katanacho offers invaluable guidance to Christians who are puzzled about how to relate the teaching of Scripture to this continuing and painful conflict.”

The Other Side of the Wall

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Here is a passionate cri de coeur from a Palestinian theologian addressed to the worldwide church—and especially to those who call themselves evangelicals. Unlike those who write about Israel from the safety of their ivory towers outside the Middle East, Munther Isaac has lived all his life under occupation on the West Bank and understands the history and politics the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The book is full of memorable personal experiences and biblical exposition that is grounded in serious scholarship. It is well documented, thoroughly up to date, and amazingly readable. I can't think of a more powerful and moving account of what it means to live out the Sermon on the Mount in an impossibly difficult situation. In the end we are presented not just with spiritual insights but with a realistic vision of how this seemingly endless conflict could actually be resolved.”
