What You Should Know About Christian Zionism

Christian Zionism, a movement rooted in the belief that the Jewish people have a claim to their ancient homeland, has evolved significantly from its medieval origins through the Reformation, Puritan restorationism, and modern dispensationalism, culminating in robust support for the state of Israel, as seen in the 1948 establishment under David Ben-Gurion and bolstered by figures like Lord Shaftesbury, William Blackstone, and evangelicals such as Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell. Emerging from theological shifts like those in the Geneva Bible and spurred by geopolitical events such as the Balfour Declaration and the Six-Day War, the movement faced opposition from some Jewish groups, particularly Reform Jews, and even criticism for alleged ties to anti-Semitic ideas, yet gained traction through American evangelicalism, a commitment to the liberal order, and lobbying efforts like AIPAC.
