Christian Zionism I: Where Did It Come From?

In this three-part series I will sketch the history of modern Christian Zionism (Part I) and then review its theology of land (Part II). Then I will turn to the question of the land most in dispute, the West Bank, and consider the question of whether its “occupation” is illegal. Finally, I will ask whether Christians and Jews—Zionist or not—should support the modern state of Israel (Part III).
