This is the hottest topic for participants on tours to the Holy Land. Voices in the debate reflect every colour of the theological or ideological spectrum. Theologian Gabriel Fackre once wrote an article in which he set out some twelve or more Christian perspectives alone. It's not possible to approach this subject dispassionately. Over the next few months I will be recommending a few items that tour participants can read ahead of time. I'll begin by suggesting the short article by Gary Burge (Professor at Wheaton College) in Books & Culture: A Christian Review. The article, titled "Who Owns the Holy Land?" is the second in a series. I mentioned the first one, by Gerald McDermott, in a blog on November 1, 2009. CLICK HERE to read the article.
