WHY ISRAEL MATTERS

Taught by guest instructor Dr. Dan Stolebarger, this non-credit online course explores God’s past, present, and future plan for Israel in Scripture. From the Abrahamic covenant to modern geopolitical realities, Israel stands at the center of biblical theology and redemptive history.

Explore Israel’s covenant relationship with God, its role in bringing salvation to the world through Christ, fulfilled and yet-to-be-fulfilled prophecies, and the relationship between Israel and the Church.

  • God’s covenant promises to Israel

  • Israel’s place in salvation history

  • Key prophetic passages in the Old and New Testaments

  • Major evangelical perspectives on Israel and the end times

  • How biblical prophecy relates to modern Israel

Rather than promoting speculation, this course equips students to develop a thoughtful, Scripture-based “Israel-ology” grounded in careful biblical interpretation. Ideal for pastors, Bible teachers, students, and believers seeking clarity on Israel in prophecy, it provides serious theological enrichment without requiring prior formal training.

  • The Qur’an and Islamic authority

  • Core Islamic theology and worldview

  • Jesus in Islam compared to the biblical Christ
