Where Is the Body? takes a fresh look at the Church's relationship to Israel and the Jewish people, which is a must in these days when Bible prophecy needs a proper anchor to keep it from fling off into the realm of fantasy. Today, many are reassessing this relationship in the light of the reality of the regathered Israel, Christians rediscovering their 'Jewish roots' and Christian and Jewish scholars studying the Bible together -- including the New Testament and the words of Jesus. Is this not what God intended from the beginning? This book rightly divides the Word of God to bring insight into Paul's words to the Ephesians concerning Jews and Gentiles, 'For He Himself [Jesus] is our peace, who has made the two one...to create in Himself one new man...thus making peace' (Eph. 2:14-15).

Review
"Author Victor Schlatter has accomplished a very commendable endeavor by writing on the subject of Israel, the Jewish people, and the Church in this book. He clearly makes his case that the Jew and the non-Jewish Christian is 'of one family growing together... of two olive trees grafted into one, waiting for their Lord to appear.' His insight into the meaning of the 'mystery' mentioned by St. Paul in his letters to the Romans and the Ephesians, clarifies the 'secret' of how the believing Jew and Gentile come to be part of the Kingdom of God. The Body has two parts or two identical halves - what an honor to be part of one of those halves! Our appreciation to Mr. Schlatter for working through this theological and historical issue, especially as it relates to the modern Jewish State of Israel." -- George Giacumakis, Ph.D., Professor of History, Director of Mission Viejo Campus, California State University, Fullerton; Chairman of the Board, International Christian Embassy, Jerusalem
"This book will not be comfortable reading for many in the Christian church; it challenges a whole number of widely held ideas that have no source in either the Old or New Testaments, but arise from Christianized Hellenism. It therefor needs to be read thoughtfully and prayerfully. Victor Schlatter has done us all a very real service in writing it." -- Lance Lambert, speaker, lecturer, teacher on Israel

Book Description
As a born-again Christian, you have a glorious heritage in Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Bible constantly teaches concerning the power of the Jew and Gentile family of God. Victor Schlatter, a passionate church planter and Bible translator in the Australasia area, will open your eyes to the scriptural reality that there always has been and always will be one family of Abraham. He shows how the Church will not be ready as the Bride of Christ until all Jewish components of the covenant promises are fulfilled. Only then will all things close at the end of the ages as the Bible decrees!

The best book available to understand Israel and Christians.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where Is the Body? (Paperback)
This book was one of the very best books I've read which contains truths about what happened historically to those who walked with God and those that merely said they did. In this book Victor Schlatter has given us a picture of what has taken place in Israel and in Rome, then the world. He was able to paint the details of our identity as those that love and follow a Jewish Messiah and he bestowed upon us a strong frame of reference to look out of. Please get this book out to as many as you can and lets see people set free from lots of dogma made up by man and customs which bind those that love God.

at last an eye-opening book of truth and revelation!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where Is the Body? (Paperback)
Vic's words have unravelled what the christian religion is supposed to be and how it should fit alongside our Jewish faith. This has shattered some of the myths of the christian religions and how and where they stand with Judaism. The truth in this book is almost frighteningly startling! Congratulations and thank you for your timely revelations! An absolute MUST in the search for truth!

What the Church Needs to Know about Israel and Why,
By Outreach Magazine, Australian Voice of Christ... (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Where Is the Body? (Paperback)
As the `time of the end' draws closer and closer, it is appropriate that thinking Christians should pay more attention to the many passages in the Word which throw light on God's plans and promises. None are of more importance than those which relate to our Jewish roots - to Israel! Schlatter is passionate on the subject, seeing our one-eyed obsession with ourselves as the promised church without spot or wrinkle, but with hardly a thought as to where Abraham's natural descendants fit into the picture. And fit they do! In his racy, conversational style, Schlatter builds a powerful case for the rejoining of the two arms of Christ's Body into one complete whole. He deplores the centuries-old blind and bitter attitudes of many representatives of the Christian church, which caused such cruel persecution of Jews, both nationally and personally, tracing them back to the time of Constantine in Rome. Even unto this day, many calling themselves Christian hold the Jew in execration! A careful examination of Scripture clearly showes that this is not God's view! On the contrary, we see that even as the Jewish roots were set aside so that the Gentile peoples could be grafted in, so there is to come a time when they will be restored. Schlatter's conviction is that now is that time! Having established a well-documented case for a church made up of Jews and Gentiles welded into one Body, Schlatter turns his attention to various other popularly held doctrines, such as those concerning the Antichrist, the Rapture, and the final Battle of the Ages, and presents a fresh approach to each. However, his heartfelt cry is for the Gentile church of today to so flow with the love of God toward our Jewish brethren that we seize the opportunity to fulfill Paul's teaching in Romans 11:25-32, and see them `provoked to jealousy' because of our love for one another, just as God intended that they should be. This book offers interesting and important insight into truths now being revealed to the body of Christ, and can be recommended to all who are seeking a deeper understanding of God's intent, as we come closer and closer to the unfolding of His plans for His people.
