Description
Israel: An Echo of Eternity?
by Abraham Joshua Heschel, Susannah Heschel
Israel, the promised land, the holy land, has long played a central role in Jewish and Christian thought. Now, in the closing few years of the twentieth century, politics and prophesy coincide. The Israeli-Arab peace process unfolds; the secular or theocratic nature of the state of Israel is debated passionately; messianic concepts of the role of Israel at the millennium and the end of days are receiving great attention.
