Tackling the contentious issue of the significance of Israel and the Holy Land, Burge provides a reasoned exegesis of key New Testament passages relating to land. This book is of direct relevance to discussions about contemporary territorial disputes and gives an alternative view to that presented by Christian Zionism. Having read a few sources from differing viewpoints on this matter, I found Burge's propositions to be clear, sensible and moderate and would recommend this book to anyone wrestling with understanding the relationship by the people of Israel and the land.
