Israel: Between Covenant and Statehood explores one of history's most contested names and identities. Bridging the sacred and the political, this book traces the journey of Israel from its biblical covenant origins to its modern statehood in the heart of the Middle East. It examines how ancient promises, prophetic visions, and religious interpretations continue to shape debates over land, legitimacy, and national identity. From the Exodus and exile to Zionism, the Holocaust, and the birth of the State of Israel, the narrative highlights the profound interplay of faith, history, and politics. Readers will encounter diverse perspectives—Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and secular—on what "Israel" truly means, both as symbol and as nation. With clarity and balance, the book invites reflection on how covenant and statehood converge, conflict, and coexist, offering insights into Israel's past, its present struggles, and the possibilities for its future.
