Não é difícil perceber que a análise da relação entre o cristianismo, o povo judeu e a terra de Israel é marcada por opiniões divergentes. Para muitos cristãos, Israel não passa de um Estado opressivo. Para outros, é o lar do povo escolhido de Deus. Após duas décadas de pesquisa sobre o significado de Israel e do judaísmo para a teologia cristã, o respeitado teólogo Gerald McDermott oferece um terceiro ponto de vista. A importância de Israel desafia a suposição defendida por muitos cristãos de que, após a vinda de Jesus, os judeus deixaram de ser especiais para Deus e de que a terra de Israel se tornou teologicamente insignificante. À luz de uma nova interpretação de passagens do Novo Testamento, o autor (que também defendia esse tipo de raciocínio) mostra que tanto o povo quanto a terra de Israel continuam relevantes para o futuro da redenção e refuta a ideia da teologia da substituição, que considera a igreja o novo Israel.
