God's Land on Loan

"While one of my goals is to enable readers, especially North American Christians, to become better informed about the history and significance of modern Israel, I also have a wider objective, namely to further an understanding and appreciation of God's claim on all land. The search for a just peace in the Middle East involves knowledge about the peculiar history of the peoples of the area. But the principles that guide the search can be applied to any conflict over land-whether in the Middle East, Central America, the United States, or wherever."
