Reviews

""Alistair's work offers a refreshing and much-needed approach to biblical hope. He combines a lucid grasp of the main contours of biblical theology with an attention, where necessary, to exegetical detail. His writings will prove invaluable to those people who want to think hard about what the Bible is really saying, to have some of their assumptions challenged, but also to grow into new depths of biblical convictions and faith."" --Peter Walker Associate Vice-Principal and Lecturer in New Testament Studies Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford ""My newspaper reported this week on Western Christians in Israel celebrating the resumption of Jewish settlement activity in the West Bank, probably unaware that this is a major obstacle to peace. They imagine that their support of Israel will speed the return of Jesus. This timely book exposes the defective hermeneutic and erroneous conclusions of such dispensationalism. We all should read it. If we understand its message perhaps we will indeed see the last days of dispensationalism. --Philip Church Senior Lecturer School of Theology, Laidlaw College ""This is a much-needed corrective of an unbiblical stance on Israel that actually causes considerable global harm to Western interests. The book is cogently but charitably written, well-argued, and, above all, biblical in its conclusions."" --Bob Robinson Senior Lecturer School of Theology, Laidlaw College
