Beyond Christian Zionism - Hardcover

by Ian Stackhouse (Author)

Beyond Christian Zionism tracks the journey of a Christian pastor/theologian from his initial enthusiasm for Christian Zionism in the heady days of the early 1980s, to something approximating a volte-face as a result of hermeneutical revision and political engagement. Given that the church he has pastored for the last twenty years was once an epicenter of Christian Zionism, and is now a multi-ethnic community, the travelogue is as much a reflection on the mission and unity of the Christian community as it is upon the politics of the Middle East. But given the ongoing conflict in the Holy Land, it also carries a prophetic note of warning to lay aside theological fundamentalism and to engage in the painstaking work of peacemaking.
