Traces the role of the Arab people throughout Scripture and prophetically into the final moments of history and provides a much-needed understanding of a crucial contemporary issue.
Christian Zionist 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 that this perspective differs dramatically from the biblical portrayal of Ishmael and the nations that have sprung from him.
