Passion for Israel

Tweet

This month in the Tikkun monthly newsletter, Israel's Restoration, I started to summarise the arguments that I set out in my new book, "Passion for Israel". I discussed the historic support that has been found in past centuries for Israel and the continuity of G-d's promises and plans for the Jewish people, the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

You can read the whole article here.

I speak about the new embrace of replacment theology among Evangelicals - those whose historical position would most contra-indicate such beliefs - and the belief among Jewish leaders that support for Israel from the churches is comehow conditioned upon conversion, as if some kind of cover for nothing more than evangelism.
