The church cannot run the race... without Israel

The church cannot runt the race... without Israel
Studies on Israel in the letter to the Romans 

by Rev. Gilbert Lammerts van Bueren 

From the cover:
Paul's letter to the Romans is compulsory reading and study material for theology students around the world. However, the main interest is on the first eight chapters, often treating the subject of Israel as a separate topic. In this booklet the author points out the fact that Israel is already introduced in the first chapters and explains how the heart of the gospel, as presented in Romans, is inseparably tied to the future of all Israel. This booklet is not presented as a Biblical
commentary, but rather as a series of articles in the context of the letter of Paul to the Romans. 

Rev. Gilbert Lammerts van Bueren has been the general director of the Near East Ministry since 1996.He studied theology at London Bible College (BA) and the Dutch Baptist Theological Seminary. Before taking up his responsibilities for NEM, he taught Greek at Tyndale Theological Seminary, was pastor of the Baptist Church in Huizen and coordinated the training department of Dorcas Aid International.
