ISRAEL'S HISTORY AND RELIGION

The central theoretical point of view in this book is that God had special love for the Nation of Israel, and had chosen her from the outset for Himself, in order to manifest Himself to the entire world through them. The call of Abram and the establishment of his descendants, coupled with diverse experiences at Canaan, Egypt, their movement to the Promised Land, occupation of the land and subsequent exiles are worth pondering upon. More so, their experiences and influences while in slavery and captivity and their conscious willingness to worship Yahweh in spite of their situations are quite commendable. It is quite undisputable that Judaism actually prepared ground for Christ and Christianity to emerge and strive. The book therefore stipulates that the Jews, Greeks and Israel¿s religion have immensely contributed to the success of Christianity and the present-day socio-ethical and philosophical endeavour.
