A new book aimed at lay Christians, church leaders and Bible college students which explores the relationship between the Jews, the Church and Israel. This timely volume offers a careful and objective examination of the issue from a range of perspectives at a time when the debate surrounding the relationship between the Church and Israel currently raging within Evangelicalism is increasingly polemical and polarised.

Using the navigation links on this page you can view some of the book's contents,  endorsements by leading scholars in support of the book, biographical notes for each of the contributors, and details of where and how to purchase a copy. This website also includes an interview with the book's editor, Calvin L. Smith, who provides additional information about the book's contents and discusses its relevance in light of what is happening in the Church and how Christian responses to Israel is symptomatic of a wider ideological conflict taking place within Evangelicalism at the present time.

"A large portion of the word of God in the Old Testament is being misinterpreted or deliberately avoided by those who have adopted the teaching that the Christian Church has replaced Israel and that the ancient promises made by God to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David are now passé.However, Calvin L. Smith has edited a set of chapters in a new book that makes a vital contribution towards rectifying this imbalance in interpretation. May it spark a long-overdue discussion among Evangelical interpreters of all persuasions as well as one between Jewish people of the book and believers in the Christian Church."
