When Abingdon Press, the publishing house of the United Methodist Church, took a pass on Gary Burge's book, Whose Land? Whose Promise?, it dodged a bullet.
The United Church of Christ is preparing a response to CAMERA’s concerns about Gary Burge’s book, Whose Land? Whose Promise? published by Pilgrim Press. UPDATE Feb. 7, 2014: The UCC has announced that no response is forthcoming.
Pilgrim Press has rescinded its offer to distribute an insert accompanying Gary Burge's error-laden book, Whose Land? Whose Promise? The fact that the offer was made indicates that the publisher lacks confidence in the text. 
Wheaton College Professor Gary Burge was given a second opportunity to provide his readers with a reliable and trustworthy text about Israel and the Palestinians, but he threw it away. 
A few weeks after the PC(USA) issued a statement acknowledging anti-Jewish bias in its witness about the Arab-Israeli conflict, it withdrew the document and issued a watered-down version. When Jewish leaders complained, the denomination's press officer responded with an ugly ad-hominem. Whose Land? Whose Promise? a book published by The Pilgrim Press, puts flesh-and-blood Jews living in Israel into a unique theological category deserving special judgement. In 2003, Pilgrim Press published a book that is filled with inaccuracies and sourcing problems. Despite these inaccuracies, it has been embraced by "peace" activists in the U.S as a trusted source of information.
