Defending Christian Zionism
Zionism is a comparatively recent word, coined to describe the return of the Jews to the land of their ancestors and the re-establishment of the nation-state of Israel, with Jerusalem (Zion) as their capital.
A Zionist is one who takes part in this or supports those who do. There are Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists. There are also Jewish anti-Zionists and Christian anti-Zionists. This book is written with the last mentioned group in mind.
* Has God brought the Jewish people back to Palestine?
* How can both Jews and Christians be God s chosen people?
* How many covenants are there in the Bible?
* Do all Christian Zionists accept dispensational teaching?
* Does the God of Israel ever change his promises?
These are some of the questions that must be faced in the light of current attacks on Christian Zionism by some evangelical writers. David Pawson believes that Christians need very clear biblical understanding before making political pronouncements about conflict in the Middle East.

Nice to hear a case for Zionism that actually looks at and refutes some of the errors of dispensationalism. Although I don't adhere to his conclusions, he does a good job articulating the view of his opponents and not misinterpreting them. Short and easy to read.

Excellent
Faithful biblical exegesis, that accurately explains God's heart and plan for Israel. Confronts the falsehood of replacement theology and the pride of gentiles in replacing Israel.

Should be read with or after Israel in the New Testament. Good to have something of a systematic, non-emotional approach to why Israel is still so significant in God's scheme of things.

Well-defended
A well-defended and very convincing case for Christian Zionism. I plan on getting his book “Israel and the New Testament” for further study :)
