Book Cover & Preview Text
It is very distressing today that prominent Jews in the world discuss the status and fate of Israel without reference to the Abrahamic Covenant. Many have taken the stand that the religious history is quirky and extreme and not to be taken seriously. It may not be the right moment to start rebuilding the Temple, but it needs to be spoken about in public and planned. The greatest reason for the existence of Israel and the retention of Jerusalem is Messianic. This calls for the rebuilding of the Temple.

About the Book
The history of Israel goes back 4,000 years, and conflict has dogged much of its past. But today’s headlines continue to highlight the Israeli-Palestinian struggle and Israel’s quest for peace. Even so, another struggle is quietly rampant within world Jewry: the fight to secure Israel’s future.
Offering a unique perspective on this issue, The Fair Dinkum Jew serves as an informative primer to show how the Abrahamic Covenant is vital to Israel’s survival. Author Allan Russell Juriansz discusses the three great pillars of this Covenant—Land, Torah, and Messiah—and shows how Israel’s only hope for security lies within these terms.
Juriansz breaks down years of Jewish history to prove the relevance of Judaism to Jewish existence and future in terms of the Abrahamic Covenant. He then discusses diff erent aspects of the Arab infi ltration and occupation of Palestine and examines the current confl ict between Jews and Arab Palestinians in terms of the post-1967 borders. In addition, he off ers potential solutions for peace that could possibly lead to stability within the Middle East.
The Fair Dinkum Jew issues a stirring call for Israel’s need to believe in and defend its political, national, and religious integrity.
