The Land, the Bible, and History
Author: Alain Marchadour
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823226611
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This unique book offers a Catholic view of the Holy Land in the debate that rages among Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Alain Marchadour and David Neuhaus, two biblical scholars and priests living in Jerusalem, clearly analyze the Promised Land-as concept, history, and contested terrain-in Catholic teaching and doctrine. They offer an analytical reading of the entire Christian Bible (Old and New Testaments) with reference to the idea of the Land promised by God. They explore early and medieval attitudes, especially with regard to the Holy Places and the Jewish people. Moving carefully to the present day, they focus on anti-Semitism, the tragedy ofthe Shoah, Western colonialism in the Middle East, the creation of the State of Israel, and the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem as they examine Catholic reactions to the tumultuous events of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly the renewal of Catholic thought in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council. Studying the most recent Church documents, Marchadour and Neuhaus confront the ongoing struggle for peace, justice, and reconciliation in the Middle East. This illuminating book is an essential tool for all those struggling to understand the links between the Bible, the Church, and contemporary Middle Eastern realities, especially in Israel and Palestine.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
“The conflict is only ‘seemingly' beyond solution, because all historical-political problems have solutions, if there is enough courage, honesty, and steadfastness.†In Chosen?, Walter Brueggemann explores the situation in modern-day Israel that raises questions for many Christians who are easily confused when reading biblical accounts of God's saving actions with the Israelites.

What about others living in the promised land? How should we read the Bible in light of the modern situation? Who are the Zionists, and what do they say? In four chapters, Brueggemann addresses the main questions people have with regards to what the Bible has to say about this ongoing issue. A question-and-answer section with Walter Brueggemann, a glossary of terms, study guide, and guidelines for respectful dialogue are also included. The reader will get answers to their key questions about how to understand God's promises to the biblical people often called Israel and the conflict between Israel and Palestine today.

Promised Land
Author: Robert Whitlow
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0718084233
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Bestselling author Robert Whitlow explores the meaning of family and home—and how faith forms the identity of both—in this breathtaking sequel to Chosen People. Despite their Israeli citizenship, Hana and Daud cannot safely return to their homeland because a dangerous terrorist ring is threatening Daud. Hana is perfectly fine remaining in the United States, working for a law firm in Atlanta, especially when she learns she’s pregnant. But Daud can’t shake the draw to return home to Israel, even if it makes him a walking target. Hana is helping her boss plan a huge summit in Atlanta when Jakob Brodsky, her old friend and former co-litigator, asks for her help with a case. His client is attempting to recover ancient artifacts stolen from his Jewish great-grandfather at the end of World War II. Because the case crosses several national borders, he needs Hana’s knowledge and skill to get to the bottom of what happened to these precious artifacts. Meanwhile, Daud is called in to help a US intelligence agency extract a Ukrainian doctor from a dangerous situation in Egypt. While overseas, he can’t resist the call of Jerusalem and thus sets off a series of events that puts thousands of people in danger, including his wife and unborn child. With historical mysteries, religious intrigue, and political danger, Promised Land asks one momentous question: What if your calling puts you—and your family—in the crosshairs? Praise for Promised Land: “Promised Land is a book about coming home. Of becoming settled in your spirit and your relationships. With layers of intensity, thanks to international intrigue, moments of legal wrangling, and pages of sweet relationships, this book is rich and complex. A wonderful read.” —Cara Putman, author of Flight Risk Second and final book in the Chosen People series Full-length, Christian fiction novel

No God's Land
Author: L R Llewellyn
Publisher: L. R. Llewellyn
ISBN: 9781393367550
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Thirty years ago, a supernatural apocalypse rendered the world nearly unrecognizable. Incomprehensible beings called Horrors devoured everything they could touch. Gods - originally called to be saviors - tore up bits of reality, sealing it away in their realms, where Humans are allowed to live, but at a price. Absolute loyalty and blind obedience in exchange for safety. Today, those who refuse to bend knee to a God live in what's left of the world; a bleak, harsh wasteland known as No God's Land. It is rife with Horrors and Monsters, but as long as one stays near civilization there is at least a chance of safety. Kitty doesn't like staying near civilization. She is one of the few citizens of No God's Land brave - or stupid - enough to venture away from the protection of mankind. She's grown up in No God's Land, and what so many others find terrifying she sees only as challenging adventures. But even Kitty begins to suspect she's bitten off more than she can chew when an impulsive trip to a God realm gets her involved with a boy named Tyre - a new prophet who seems to have a target on his back. On top of that, Cerberus - guardian of the Greek pantheon's land of death - has appeared, looking for help in recovering Hades from a magical prison before the slowly escaping dead souls can take over the land. Hunted by Gods even as they go in search of one, Kitty and her new companions head into the heart of the unforgiving landscape of No God's Land. Kitty is beginning to think she might actually be in over her head for the first time in her life, and that had better be a good thing - it's already too late to be turning back.
