In 1998 Israel celebrated fifty years as a nation, yet its future is as uncertain as its past has been unsettled. Numerous evangelical scholars and authors examine pressing issues regarding the identity of the Jewish people, the competing claims to the land, and the future of the nation in the plan of God. Includes chapters by Tuvya Zaretsky, Ronald B. Allen, Harold Hoehner, Walter C. Kaiser Jr., David L. Larsen, and others.
