Not just because Israel dominates the headlines, but because many Christians are unsure of what the Bible actually teaches about Israel, Jewish people, and God’s promises.
In a world marked by endless wars, political tension, and Jewish conspiracy, Is God a Zionist invites readers to step away from the noise and return to Scripture with clarity. Christopher Kuehl, founder of Present Witness and co-host of the One New Man podcast, delivers a provocative Christian apologetic that affirms God's unbreakable covenant with the Jewish people is not symbolic or it is real, enduring, and still shaping history.
Written for skeptical Christians, critics of Zionism, supporters of Israel seeking deeper theological grounding, and those who are still undecided, the book addresses the many viral questions about Israel that many are modern Israel connected to the Israel of the Bible?What do God’s covenant promises actually mean, and who are they for today?Has the Church replaced Israel, or does Scripture tell a more complex story?Is Christian Zionism a modern theological movement shaped by dispensationalism?Can faith, history, and morality be separated from today’s debates about Israel and the Middle East?Drawing from personal experiences living in Jerusalem, a deep look into church history, and scripture, Kuehl connects Israel and civilization, theology, and today’s cultural debates. He weaves Church history's giants, from Augustine, to Spurgeon, to Vatican II, into pop culture firestorms involving Kanye West, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and more, helping readers think biblically without fear or political distortion.
