I realise there's a lot of material on this blog about the relationship between the Church and Israel and related matters, but other than the tag cloud it's not easy to find individual articles. Someone suggested I should create an FAQ page on the topic. It's a good idea so what I've done below is to outline some typical questions people ask on this issue and link to some of my articles to help readers easily find material. The list by no means covers all my posts, but it is a start. This page is now highlighted in the right-hand column beneath the tag cloud for site visitors.
Finally, I have been working on some podcasts on the whole issue of the Church and Israel, the aim being to present a series of talks covering the subject and related issues in a systematic manner. Recording has begun, so watch this space.
