Elpis Israel is a book written in 1848 by Dr. John Thomas, and it is essentially the book that began the Christadelphian movement. The centrality of the Jews to the Christadelphian faith can be seen simply by this book's title––which translates to "The Hope of Israel."
Within that book are words that, unlike many Christian denominations, are extremely favorable to the Jewish people. Additionally, keep in mind that these words were written before the advent of Zionism, and 100 years before the state of Israel came into existence: |
