Recommendations

“Ronald E. Diprose’s essay is very important and timely; it is a contribution to understanding Israel's place in God’s redemptive plan for mankind. »
- Dr Peter Beyerhaus, professor emeritus, University of Tubingen

“Ronald Diprose’s thesis demonstrates that essential areas of Christian doctrine were founded on the Church’s attitude towards Israel. But tragically for the Jewish people and for traditional Christian theology, Israel's crucial role has not been systematically, publicly and generally highlighted. »
- Dr Donald Tinder, Professor, Faculty of Evangelical Theology, Leuven, Belgium, Academic Dean, Tyndale Theological Seminary, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

“Ronald Diprose presents us with a fascinating study of the negative and false attitudes adopted by Christian churches towards Israel over the centuries. Serious and balanced, this work contributes an important material for what has long been lacking: a biblical and evangelical theology of Israel ”.
- Jean Stauffacher, president, professor, Institut Biblique Pastoral Baptiste, Algrange, ( Moselle) France

“Professor Diprose’s masterpiece is hotly relevant to the current confusion over the existence and future of Israel. This masterful didactic work corrects eschatological interpretations in Christendom. "
- Scott McCarty, co-founder of the CIFEM Institute, Grenoble, author, pioneer evangelist
