The Politics of Christian Zionism 1891-1948

<p>For this book Professor Merkley has researched presidential archives, Jewish historical libraries and official Zionist records in the US and in Israel for evidence of the dealings between official Zionists and active Christian Restorationists. Much of this record appears here for the first time in print and is linked to the much better known history of the relationship between the official Zionists and the politicians and leaders of the US and Britain.</p>

<p>Why do some Christians vilify Israel, yet some are amongst Israel’s strongest supporters? Why does Christianity have such divergent views on Jews and Israel? What is the basis of the quarrel between some of the older denominations and the newer evangelical or fundamentalist denominations? On what exactly are the Christian Zionists basing their support for Israel? "Those That Bless You, I Will Bless: Christian Zionism in Historical Perspective" by Professor Paul C. Merkley attempts to answer these and other fascinating questions. Merkley examines the origins of Christian Zionism and recalls the story of Christian attitudes towards the Jews over the two millennia since the destruction of the Second Temple and provides a scholarly overview of Christian Zionism and a deeper understanding of Christian attitudes towards Israel. In Several books and many more articles and public lectures, Professor Paul Merkley has described the part that Christian friends of Israel played in bringing about the creation of the State in 1948 and sustaining it against its enemies ever since. Now he takes us back to the origins of Christian Zionism in exegesis of Scripture. Confronting the historical distortions of the anti-Zionists, he provides a calm, proud and scholarly defense of Christian Zionism. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of Christian attitudes towards Israel, this is a must read.</p>
