How do we understand Israel?

In light of the aforementioned controversy (here’s a good summary) I thought I would offer a few items for those who want to do some thoughtful reading on the issue of “the role of Israel.” Our own Matt Waymeyer has penned this brief but helpful answer to the question: “Am I a Dispensationalist?” If you really want to jump in feet first you can read his Th.M thesis on “The Identity of ‘All Israel’ in Romans 11:26″.
