Whose Promised Land? (6th Edition): The Continuing Conflict over Israel and Palestine
Colin ChapmanPaperback 2024-10-07
Updated and expanded edition of a classic book on Israel and Palestine, with new text on the war between Israel and Hamas that broke out in 2023.
"The go-to text for Christians and others wanting to understand what is really happening in the Middle East."—Jeremy Moodey, former Chief Executive, Embrace the Middle East
The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians has profoundly affected the Middle East for almost eighty years and shows no sign of ending.
With two peoples claiming the same piece of land for different reasons, it remains a huge political and humanitarian problem. Can it ever be resolved? If so, how? These are the basic questions addressed in this revised and expanded sixth edition of Colin Chapman’s highly acclaimed book.
Having lived and worked in the Middle East at various times since 1968, Chapman explains the roots of the problem and outlines the arguments of the main parties involved. He also explores the theme of land in the Old and New Testaments, discussing legitimate and illegitimate ways of using the Bible in relation to the conflict.
This new and fully updated edition covers developments over the past ten years, including the war that broke out between Israel and Hamas in October 2023.
