Walking in His Steps: A Guide to Exploring the Land of the Bible - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

A book that takes stock of the relevance of Israel for Christians in the new millennium and provides an informed view of the Holy Land for those visiting – especially those without a spiritual tradition of pilgrimage.

Walking in His Steps will help Christians wrestle with the theological and spiritual issues which a visit to the Holy Land raises: Are these really ‘holy’ places? Can we learn from the ‘Desert Fathers’? What are God’s purposes for this modern land and for the Jews? As these issues are particularly keenly felt in the UK, the USA and Australasia, a international audience will be held in mind by the authors.

The book will cover the history of the Holy Land from the early Church onwards; the traditions of the Desert fathers, meditation and spirituality; Prophetic issues of Israel and Palestine; the role of an Evangelical witness to Christ in the Land of the Bible; and issues of mission in the Middle East. The style will be informative, reflective and theologically backed.

It will also include an Appendix with food for thought in some particular locations: the Mount of Olives, Bethlehem, the Judean Desert, Golgotha, Galilee, Mount Tabor.
