American Milk and Honey: Antisemitism, the Promise of Deuteronomy, and the True Israel of God

Well written, nuanced, honest and theologically based. Excellent take on a rising trend in this current political climate.

I haven’t read a book that I didn’t want to put down in a long time. This is a must read, especially if you grew up non-denominational or unknowingly dipsy. The focal argument Doug presents is revelation within the text of scripture, and if you’re like me, it’s a hopeful breath of fresh air if you’ll receive it. Kind of peeved no one ever taught me it prior…almost like cage stage level peeved. Get one for yourself and a friend.

Excellent book 📖

Written in Wilson's direct, humorous and pastoral manner. He lays a pretty straightforward case for what drives much of antisemitism. Challenges alot of dispensationalist assumptions. Picked up the book and was not disappointed. Especially in climate of 2024.

It’s rather odd how often I read something by Wilson, and it’s as though he had just written down some insight I’d come to in the last year. In this case, it was seeing that the Church is not something which replaces Israel, the Church is the fulfillment of Israel. But don’t take my word for it; read the book.

Awesome

American Milk & Honey is an extremely thought provoking book. Statements like "lowliness of heart does not maintain itself" and "only appropriate response to enormous material blessing is humility and greatness" make the reader deeply contemplate their own response. The author's presentation of the role of Gentiles throughout Scripture also is not a often discussed position. I've recommended this book to several fellow readers already!

I really enjoyed this book. The way Pastor Wilson is able to put the Bible into modern terms/events is what draws me to him; after all, it is the book for all ages/eras. The devil has had alot of practice in deception, but there really is nothing new under the sun and I appreciate authors, pastors, and Podcasters that point that out.
Thank you

This is a very good and sensible approach to the nation of Israel and her position in redemption history. Superseccesionism (the idea that the church is the true Israel of God) is taught in the Bible, so I've been confused before about why some Christians find it to be a wicked or antisemitic teaching. Wilson is a "soft" supercessionist, and he explains what that means. Like most of Wilson's books, this contains some nice, clear thinking about the roles of Jews and Gentiles, along with a good Reformed theological foundation a commitment to the plain reading of the Scripture. It's sort of a like a Christian version of a Thomas Sowell book. I got copies for several friends and loved ones.
