In Chosen?, Walter

Brueggemann explores the situation in modern-day Israel that raises questions for

many Christians who are easily confused when reading biblical accounts of God’s

saving actions with the Israelites. Are modern Israeli citizens the descendants of

the Israelites in the Bible whom God called chosen? Was the promise of land to Moses

permanent and irrevocable? What about others living in the promised land? How should

we read the Bible in light of the modern situation? Who are the Zionists, and what

do they say?

In four chapters, Brueggemann addresses the main

questions people have with regards to what the Bible has to say about this ongoing

issue. A question-and-answer section with Walter Brueggemann, a glossary of terms,

study guide, and guidelines for respectful dialogue are also included. The reader

will get answers to their key questions about how to understand God’s promises to

the biblical people often called Israel and the conflict between Israel and

Palestine today.
