Christian Zionism is a modern theological and political movement that embraces the most extreme ideological positions of Zionism, thereby becoming detrimental to a just peace within Palestine and Israel. The Christian Zionist program provides a worldview where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism, and militarism. In its extreme form, it emphasizes apocalyptic events leading to the end of history rather than bringing Christ’s love and justice today. From Great Britain, Christian Zionism moved to the USA, where dispensationalist teaching became widely disseminated and assimilated. Dispensationalist theology was popularized in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by several Protestant theologians. The founding of the state of Israel in 1948 gave new vigor to this nefarious movement.
