The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is tangled up in questions about what the Bible has to say about the people of Israel and the land of Israel. This three-week series, taught by Candler OT professor Ryan Bonfiglio, offers biblical perspectives on this complex topic. We’ll discuss the history of the land of Israel and who has lived there, the nature and purpose of God’s promise of land to the ancient Israelites, and what the OT has to say about how Israel is to treat foreigners who live among them. Emphasis will be placed on how you can enter conversations about the present conflict with more nuance, understanding, and compassion.
