"Is the modern state of Israel the fulfillment of ancient prophecy? Are Jewish people saved by virtue of being God's chosen people? These important questions affect our theology, evangelism, missions—even our politics. Palmer Robertson carefully and clearly takes us to the Bible to answer these and other questions. His masterful exegesis of Hebrews 7 and Romans 11 alone are worth the price of this book."
—Tremper Longman III
"Palmer Robertson provides fresh and brilliant insight into the content of God's promises of redemption to Old testament Israel and their relevance to the Christian church. This is an exciting read."
—R. C. Sproul
"Dr. Robertson has addressed this perennial, much-disputed topic in a fashion that is not only both incisive and engaging but also, to this reader at least, thoroughly convincing. My hope is that this book will serve to unite Christians today in affirming his concluding propositions."
—Richard B. Gaffin
"Robertson's much-needed book fills a gap in the church's current understanding of the meaning of Israel as a land and people . . . I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a better understanding of these matters in the light of Holy Scripture."
—Robert L. Reymond
