Christian Zionism Is Not the Gospel: How Prophecy Became Foreign Policy

Arthur Hallett-West examines the history and theology of Christian Zionism in a column for The Remnant, arguing that the movement's claims do not align with the Gospel. The analysis traces how the belief that the modern State of Israel fulfills biblical prophecy evolved from nineteenth-century dispensationalism through the Scofield Bible to the rise of the American Christian Right.

Hallett-West challenges the idea that Christians have a theological obligation to support the modern nation-state based on prophecy. The column evaluates these claims by looking at Scripture, the teachings of the Church Fathers, Catholic doctrine, and the perspectives of Christians currently living in the Holy Land.
