Israel in the Biblical Worldview is a concise, reader-friendly yet deceptively full study of the place and importance of Israel in Scripture. Many biblical studies take a long time to get to the point, by which time the student's attention span is flagging. Happily, this study is different; its bitesize chapters deliver solid information in an accessible format and a winning style.
Trotter knows the Bible. He knows that God has a magnificent future for Israel, and he knows that Israel actually means Israel, not the Church! The book is a commendable piece of work from a sound teacher. What more could one want?

The promise of Israel’s ultimate restoration is one of the Bible’s most enduring motifs. In this patient and informative study, Perry Trotter thoroughly examines the bases of this promise to the Jewish people, its evolution in the Bible, and how denial of this precept has been a continuous source of antisemitism for centuries.

Israel in the Biblical Worldview is a remarkable piece of scholarship. It invites us to align our thinking about the Messiah and Israel closely with Scripture, and provokes us to a much needed conversation and re-examination of replacement theology. Antisemitism and replacement theology are not synonymous, but it is clear that the great tragedy of the Holocaust was born out of replacement theology and the irrational hatred of a people group.
I was deeply moved to read of several Christian Kaumatua (elders) of Nga Puhi who travelled to Wellington after world War II to offer 1200 acres of their land to Jewish refugees. Many of my husband’s ancestors suffered indescribable cruelty in the European concentration camps, and those who survived desperately needed the help of caring people like Nga Puhi. This outstanding book by Perry Trotter addresses some of the difficult issues around the Jewish people, a people destined only to be a blessing to others.

Trotter’s case against replacement theology and antisemitism introduces the reader to the Jewishness of Jesus and the covenants. An invaluable primer to thinking biblically about the people and land of Israel.

Recent years have seen an explosion in misinformation about Israel and the situation in the Middle East. Online video sites and social media peddle false narratives of half-truths and outright falsehoods. Frequently these are malevolent and racist against the Jewish people. As a Jewish believer in Messiah Jesus, it is heartbreaking and concerning to me as I see some of my fellow believers taken in by these toxic falsehoods.
This book by Perry Trotter has no agenda but that of Scripture, and clearly lays out God’s plan and program for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel and does that with utmost fidelity to God’s Word.
God’s love extends to both Jew and Arab equally, and when biblically understood we see His plan to bring atonement to all who will believe. Reading this compact book will equip you to understand the overall plan of God, and the small investment of time will be well worth your while.

The Messiah revealed Himself to me in my early twenties and brought me in contact with Keith and Margaret Relf, who became my Christian mentors. Their love for Jesus, commitment to the Word and to Israel, was contagious. My journey of more than fifty-five years continues to be ‘salted’ with the importance of God’s view of Israel as foundational to our faith, our daily lives, and our future.
My very long career in education has included a passion to promote a biblical understanding of Israel and God’s heart for the holy land and its people. With God’s leading, Perry and Dr Sheree Trotter have become important advisers to me on these matters and some of my educational colleagues. This book is one of the fruits of their hard work and scholarship. It is my joy to commend this book for your prayerful consideration.

Perry Trotter has written a valuable and concise summary of the church’s sad role in misrepresenting the text of Scripture with its false notion of what is generally characterized as replacement theology.
Many Christians believe the church has replaced Israel. Since the Messianic ministry of Jesus was largely rejected the first go around by His own people, all too many have falsely concluded that the New Testament Church has superseded, nay even changed God’s worldwide salvation program granted through the nation of Israel. In so doing, Christians too often misread God’s foundational covenants promised to the patriarchs, allegorically reinterpret the land promise that denies its original intent, and misuse Christology to rob the essential Jewish character of both the Davidic and New Covenants so they are presumed to be entirely fulfilled by the New Testament Church. Armed with such misunderstandings, Christians commonly entertain various forms of antisemitism that on the surface appear either justifiable or innocuous. It is thus unsurprising that Israel’s eschatological future is also deeply mischaracterized through a very subtle form of Christianization that confiscates the strong Jewish elements deeply rooted in the Old Testament covenants and prophecies which must be fulfilled by God’s predetermined plan for the ages.
If God does not keep His promises to Israel, then how does the Church know it will keep His promises to Christians? Perry Trotter does an excellent job explaining why replacement theology is fraught with many serious theological problems and grave concerns relative to a biblical understanding of God’s people Israel that cannot be ignored.
