To help us, as Christians, have a clear understanding of modern-day Israel and how it relates to the Bible, we have asked one of the nation’s foremost authorities on the subject onto the podcast.
Dr. Gary Burge (Ph.D., from King’s College at the University of Aberdeen, and M.Div., from Fuller Theological Seminary) is a New Testament scholar, professor, author, and ordained minister. After 25 years teaching at Wheaton College and Graduate School, he is now Adjunct Professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary.
Dr. Burge has written biblical commentaries and scholarly books on the New Testament. He has also tackled the theological and practical issues surrounding the people and the land of Israel and Palestine, including Jesus and the Land: The New Testament Challenge to “Holy Land” Theology (Baker Academic, 2010), and Whose Land? Whose Promise?: What Christians Are Not Being Told about Israel and the Palestinians (Pilgrim Press, 2003, Revised 2013).
