Description:
The Unfolding of God’s Prophetic Plan for Ishmael’s Line

Western Christianity’s longstanding support of Israel has certainly, but unintentionally, nurtured a bias against Arab people, traditionally tied to Abraham’s first son, Ishmael. Lebanese Christian Tony Maalouf contends hat this perspective differs dramatically from the biblical portrayal of Ishmael and the nations that have sprung from him.
By tracing the role of the Arab people throughout Scripture and prophetically into the final moments of history, Maalouf provides a much-needed understanding of a crucial contemporary issue and challenges Christians to think biblically about the complex issues of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
