Don’t Miss the Extra Israel Seminar and These Audio Resources

On 18 October 2008 MBCDS held an all-day teaching seminar on the subject of Israel, details of which are contained in a previous post. The seminar was a great success, with six challenging papers and attendance by over 150 delegates. So well-received was the event that it was decided to run a second seminar on this subject, providing Christians with further resources on the subject of Israel from various angles, allowing other speakers originally lined up to speak but who could not attend that day to present their research. Further details will be announced on this site today or tomorrow.

Although the papers of both conference days will be released as a book early in the New Year, we are making available several of the recordings from 18th October straight away as audio downloads. The first, by Dr Stephen M. Vantassel, is entitled Israel’s Right to the Land: A Calvinist Explains. This is a most valuable resource for those eschewing supercessionism and seeking a nuanced treatment of this thorny topic. MBCDS’ Andy Cheung also presented an excellent paper entitled What Does ‘Israel’ Mean in the New Testament? This is a short but vital linguistic analysis all Christians need to be aware of. Further audio recordings will be advertised here in due course.
