How does the editor treat Israel?
Students are challenged to find out how world events have effected Jewish populations. This is not done under the guise of supporting or precluding an eschatological position. If Israel is no longer of theological consequence, as some Christians believe, then it would be reasonable to place no special emphasis on Jewish history after the first century. However, if Israel remains blinded to Yeshua (Jesus) “until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in” (Rom 11), and that time has not yet come, then it is reasonable to give special attention to Israel in a course of World History in Biblical Perspective.
