Israel Importa aborda el tema profundamente importante de la relaci n entre el cristianismo y la gente y la tierra de Israel, ofreciendo una "tercera v a" nica y convincente entre los enfoques t picos, y corrigiendo malentendidos comunes que se han presentado a lo largo del camino. Este libro desaf a la extendida suposici n cristiana de que desde que Jes s vino a la tierra, los jud os ya no son especiales para Dios como pueblo, y la tierra de Israel ya no es teol gicamente significativa. El libro presenta el viaje del autor de pensar esas cosas al descubrimiento de que los autores del Nuevo Testamento cre an lo contrario de ambos. Tambi n muestra que, contrariamente a lo que muchos cristianos creen, la Iglesia no es el nuevo Israel, y tanto la gente como la tierra de Israel son importantes para Dios y para el futuro de la redenci n.
Israel Matters addresses the perennially important issue of the relationship between Christianity and the people and land of Israel, offering a unique and compelling "third way" between typical approaches and correcting common misunderstandings along the way. This book challenges the widespread Christian assumption that since Jesus came to earth, Jews are no longer special to God as a people, and the land of Israel is no longer theologically significant. It traces the author's journey from thinking those things to discovering that the New Testament authors believed the opposite of both. It also shows that contrary to what many Christians believe, the church is not the new Israel, and both the people and the land of Israel are important to God and the future of redemption.
