The twentieth century witnessed harsh anti-Semitism, vicious
pogroms, and the unimaginable Holocaust. Over a third of the
world's Jews were killed. Yet, today the largest concentration of
Jews resides in Israel?a modern miracle. Theologian and historian
Dr. Jim Eckman presents a riveting history of God's covenant people
from the initial promises God made to Abraham to the establishment
of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Through enslavement in
ancient Egypt, the conquest under Joshua, the establishment of the
monarchy under David, the brutal exiles under Assyria and Babylon
to the tragedies of Diaspora Judaism, the Jewish people have
survived. For almost 1,900 years, the Jews were dispersed and
despised as ?Christ-killers.? But, by the late ninteenth century,
there was evidence of a change in the world's perception of the
Jews. How and why did they begin their historic trek back to their
ancient homeland? Eckman identifies ten major historical events
that reawakened the West to the necessity of a homeland for the
Jewish people. As he weaves history together with the theological
portrait of our covenant-making, covenant-keeping God, Eckman
provides an indispensable handbook for understanding today's Middle
East and the importance of the Jewish people to God's eternal plan
for this planet.
