Believing without Israel

How Israel disappeared from our Christian faith

For many Christians, Israel is merely the land where Jesus once walked. But how could Israel fade so much from the picture when the Bible speaks of an everlasting covenant with it? The prophet Isaiah declares that in the coming Kingdom, ‘the law will again go forth from Zion and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.’ Rev. Cornelis Kant explains in a clear and accessible way how Israel gradually disappeared from Christian thought, despite its unique and enduring role in God’s redemptive purposes.
