Is Israel God's Chosen Nation?

Show Notes:

Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023; the bloody conflict leaves some Christians asking theological questions about the modern state of Israel. Is the current state of Israel or even contemporary Judaism the particular object of promises from God? Do Christians have an obligation to Israel and its political interests? The Thinking Fellows discuss the creation of Israel, asserting that it is a distinctly political object and not a nation specially chosen or preserved by God for eschatological reasons.
