Publisher's Synopsis
Christian Zionism, the belief that the establishment of a Jewish state in the Holy land is part of Biblical prophecy, has generated massive US economic and political support for Israel over the last 25 years. Under the Bush administration, it has become more influential in congress and the White house than at any other time.
This book is a comprehensive study of Christian Zionism, examining its theological and political roots and showing why it is so influential. It provides many examples of its influence on US policy, and explains US actions in the Palestine-Israel conflict.
