Christian Zionism has been described by Hamas as ‘thegreatest danger to world truth, justice, and peace’, andby the Church as ‘a powerful force’ which ‘fuels theArab-Israeli conflict’ and ‘encourages the destruction ofmillions of people’ with its ‘Armageddon theology’. Ithas also been denounced as ‘pernicious’, ‘biblicallyuntenable’, ‘anathema to the Christian faith’, and ‘one ofthe most dangerous and heretical movements in theworld’. How sustainable are these charges, and is therea case to answer?

By locating Christian Zionism firmly within theEvangelical tradition, Paul Wilkinson takes issue withthose who have portrayed it as a ‘totally unbiblical menace’and as the ‘road-map to Armageddon’. Charting indetail its origins and historical development, he arguesthat Christian Zionism lays the biblical foundation forIsrael’s restoration and the return of Christ. No one hascontributed more to this cause than its leading architectand patron, John Nelson Darby, an ‘uncompromisingchampion for Christ’s glory and God’s truth’.

This groundbreaking book challenges decades of misrepresentation and scholarship, exploding the myththat Darby stole the doctrine of the pre-tribulationRapture from his contemporaries. By revealing the manand his message, Paul Wilkinson vindicates Darby andspotlights the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ asthe centrepiece of his theology.
