A very helpful book is Robertson's
Israel of God.
For a helpful background article try
this although I disagree with him
"...it is becoming clear that there are actually three breeds of amillennialist:
1. Those who, like Calvin and myself, see "all Israel" as a reference to the church.
2. Those amillennialists who, like John Murray, interpret Romans 11 as a postmillennialist would regarding the future conversion of the Jews en masse, but without espousing the postmillennial hermeneutic as whole.
3. And those who, like Robertson, see "all Israel" as having an ethnically restrictive denotation (i.e., to all the elect within the community of Israel) and who envision their salvation as a continual process throughout the interadvental period."
