About
The relationship of 'land' to 'theology' has been a motif living within the Jewish tradition since the patriarchal era: one mark of the covenant with Abraham was the promise of land.
Gary Burge explores what the New Testament says about 'the land' and outlines the various ways in which these passages have been interpreted.
Jesus and the Land will help Christians to form a biblical view about modern-day claims to the land in Israel-Palestine. Examining what the New Testament says about the idea of land being 'holy', this guide is accessible and non-technical.
