Written in a respectful manner this book seeks better understanding
on the question of Israel, and examines the Scriptures and
differences of opinion amongst Christians. This book traces the
origin of the name Israel as a spiritual title given to Jacob, then
looks at the rise of the Israelite nation, followed by division
into the House of Israel and House of Judah. Periods of exile and
prophetic writings followed, until the coming of Jesus. Paul and
Peter describe Jesus as a stumbling block placed in Zion because
many Jews could not accept their own Messiah, and the ongoing
dispute between Christians and Jews on the question of who Jesus is
reflects this. Do the Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus today
form true Israel, or does the State of Israel, or the Jewish people
have a claim? Has the Church replaced Israel or are Christian
Zionists correct? Or is there a more balanced way forward that
better reflects the teaching of Scripture. This book seeks a true
biblical solution that respects and loves the Jewish people, but is
also faithful to Jesus and the Church.
This book examines the foundations of evolution and deep-time from
non-Christian cultures in the Ancient Middle East and Indian
Sub-Continent. It then examines how such pagan-religious beliefs
were brought into the emrging scientific arena by Enlightenment
philosophers who had an interest in Greek paganism and Hinduism -
men such as Erasmus Darwin, David Hume and Benoit de Maillet. It
then looks in detail at developments in the 19th century with
references for instance to the writings of Charles Darwin, Charles
Lyell and Thomas Huxley.
