Summary

For American Christians, Israel is more than a nation; it’s a theological touchstone. Premillennial dispensationalism teaches that the rebirth of Israel signals the imminent return of Christ, and this belief shapes the political landscape in ways most people fail to recognize. It is a doctrine that has infected pulpits and parliaments alike. And it is a doctrine that too often blinds us to the people who actually inhabit the land we claim to care about.”
