At the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins—which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632; the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his son Ali; and the slaughter of Ali's own son Husayn at Karbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender fault line in the Middle East.

Who and what is the "Israel of God"? Cutting through the confusion that abounds today, noted theologian and Bible scholar O. Palmer Robertson develops a biblical theology of Israel's land, people, worship, and lifestyle.

His book is essential listening for those who want to better understand the relation of the Old and New Testaments and respond wisely to political policies, popular Christian teaching, and contemporary events.

He introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history, imparting not only what happened but how it is understood from the Muslim perspective.

In Israel and Civilization, syndicated columnist, legal scholar, and popular commentator Josh Hammer makes a righteous case that the key to the prosperity of the West is the flourishing of the Jewish people and the Jewish State of Israel.

As Hammer makes clear, manifesting the promise of Israel requires action by the United States and its allies.

Charlotte Beradt began having unsettling dreams after Adolf Hitler took power in 1933. She envisioned herself being shot at, tortured and scalped, surrounded by Nazis in disguise, and breathlessly fleeing across fields with storm troopers at her heels. Shaken by these nightmares and banned as a Jew from working, she began secretly collecting dreams from her friends and neighbors, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Disguising these "diaries of the night" in code and concealing them in the spines of books from her extensive library, she smuggled them out of the country one by one.

Israel: A Biblical Perspective begins by defining who Israel is, tracing its origins back to the patriarch Abraham and the formation of the Twelve Tribes. These tribes, descended from Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel), each inherited territory in the Promised Land under a divine covenant. The concept of “Spiritual Israel” is introduced as a broader spiritual lineage, suggesting that membership extends beyond physical descent to those who embrace the faith.

It usually takes a while to educate people on what real sovereignty is and how God intended for us to have it. It is in the understanding that God Is Government and, through that understanding, we can know exactly what we must do. The principles of God begin with the family which is mirrored after God's Apostolic Government. It is only when the home is order that all other societal government becomes underneath the control of God (dominion).

This work of retrieval often requires courage, as we modern heirs of the Reformers inevitably discover that some of what we thought to be “Reformed” proved to be theological novelty in the face of the primary sources. We often discover that 19th- and 20th-century social movements and cultural pressures have successfully smuggled their ideas into the bedrock of our thinking.
