Resources for Further Study on Israel, Palestine, Ethics & Eschatology
Michael L. Brown
When dealing with difficult contemporary issues and volatile social conflicts, it is important to start with God’s Word and then to work our way out from there with humility and care. It is my hope that you have seen tonight that it is possible to stand with God’s purposes for the Jewish people, affirm the validity of the modern State of Israel, and at the same time work for justice and reconciliation for all parties involved. The resources listed here are selective, consisting of both scholarly works and popular works that will help you to navigate through history, Scripture, theology, and ethics, right up to the present day.
