In this informed and enlightening book, Colin Chapman assesses the centrality of Jerusalem in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, tracing its history through the ages and showing how the issues of the past are relevant today. Since 1967, the Israelis have controlled the city and the areas around it, creating new settlements and roads to transform its geography and demography, and provoking intense opposition from the Palestinians. The situation today appears hopeless as the conflict continues violently with Jerusalem at its centre. How, Colin Chapman asks, can the two sides reach agreement over this most holy of cities?

Two peoples, Jews and Palestinian Arabs, lay claim to the same piece of land. But who does it really belong to? Scripture, history, and contemporary politics add to the volatile conflict in the Middle East. Whose Promised Land?, now in a fully revised and updated fifth edition, provides an evenhanded approach to this complex dilemma. The book begins with the history of the territory, explaining the development of the conflict and the complexity of the issues. The second section surveys biblical teaching on the theme of the land, both from the Old Testament point of view and the perspective of Jesus and his followers. Building on the analysis of history and the biblical studies, the final part examines the major contemporary forces affecting the conflict today. Unlike many evangelical Christian books on the topic, Whose Promised Land? does not automatically assume a pro-Israel stance, but seeks to present an honest appraisal of modern Israel while clearly delineating the interrelated issues surrounding the crisis in the Middle East.

Whose Promised Land?

Baker Books

Jews, Arabs, and Muslims alike have fought over Jerusalem, the city of peace, for centuries with no foreseeable solution. In Whose Holy City?, Middle East expert Colin Chapman covers the history and background of "the most famous city in the world" and traces its days from Old Testament times to the contemporary scene. Many regard Jerusalem as the key to peace in the Middle East. Still, Chapman believes that the Middle East question is not one that will be easily resolved. Bringing biblical insight and expert analysis to the search for peace, he reflects on Jerusalem's place in Scripture and history, assesses the present-day conflict, and all the while looks at possibilities for peace and resolution.

Whose Holy City?: Jerusalem and the Future of Peace in the Middle East

There are many ways of presenting the case for Christianity. This is just one. Inevitably it is a personal approach. The material was originally developed for a youth club and expanded into a book form under the title Christianity on Trial. Since then it has been tested in discussion with international students, and completely re-cast to start with human rather than abstract questions. In putting Christianity on trail, or making a case for it, I have concentrated on Christian beliefs. We can hardly carry out a thorough investigation into Christianity as a historical phenomena. What would we be trying to prove - that Christianity has done more good than harm, or more harm than good? What we can do is test the beliefs, understand the Christian world-view, appreciate what it feels like to see the world as the Christian sees it. We can ask: are these beliefs true? Do they fit the facts of history and experience? Do they make sense of the world as we know it? We begin, therefore, not with Christian beliefs about God or even with Jesus Christ but with ourselves, the man.
