I Want to Be Left Behind

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Ted Noel's book is much more than a refutation of the 'Left Behind' mania. Noel carefully and systematically reveals that, however popular, LaHaye's books remain unadultured fiction. He demonstrates conclusively that LaHaye's deterministic and futurist eschatology, which elevates Israel to a status above the Church, distorts the Bible, marginalizes the cross and undermines the universality of the gospel. Reading Noel's book has convinced me that I too 'want to be left behind.'”

Jesus and the Land

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Once in a while a book comes along that reshapes the theological landscape. This is such a book, and it is destined to become a defining text on the biblical theology of the land. Gary Burge carefully and systematically reveals the way in which Jesus and the apostles understood how the Abrahamic covenant to the land would be fulfilled. He shows how in Jesus Christ the promises made to Abraham embrace not only the Jewish people but all peoples and indeed the entire cosmos. Jesus and the Land is a magnificent book—a ‘must read’ and a point of reference for all concerned with a thoroughly biblical theology of the land as well as the causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict.”

Like Birds in a Cage

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Like Birds in a Cage is destined to become a standard text on Christian Zionism in the USA. With devastating precision, Dave Crump exposes the cancerous nature of this deviant theology. For Evangelicalism to survive with any credibility, it must repudiate the justification of apartheid and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. Crump’s book provides not only the diagnosis but also the cure.”

The Gospel and the Land of Promise

Theology

“This is an immensely important work of biblical scholarship on the theology of the holy land . . . While Christian Zionists invariably see the coming of Jesus as the postponement of the land promises God made to Abraham, the authors demonstrate conclusively from the Scriptures that these promises were fulfilled in and through Jesus Christ.”

“"If you despair that there will never be peace in the Middle East, then read the testimonies of these courageous, living martyrs. Drawn from both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide they . . . share a common Saviour, the Lord Jesus, who has reconciled them to himself and given them a ministry of reconciliation. Musalaha stands as a testament to the power of the gospel at work today in the Middle East where it is so badly needed. This book should carry a health warning. Reading it could transform you from a passive reader to an active participant in the peace process.”
