God made a promise to Abraham that included not only descendants and a blessing but also physical land. So why is there such a history of turmoil over the Jewish homeland? In this book Boyd Luter offers a scholarly exploration of the following questions: - What are the conditions of God's promise to His chosen people? - Why should Gentile believers be concerned with how Jewish history affects the future? - What is the deeper meaning of the language structure of Scripture, considering its oral origins? - How does Scripture give witness to God's ongoing commitment to the people of Israel in relationship to the lands of the patriarchs? God's promise is an extension of Himself-eternal and unchanging-and He is faithful to fulfill His divine intent (even if we can't see it yet)
