Christian Zionism and the restoration of Israel: how should we interpret the scriptures?

Abstract

debate on Christian Zionism within evangelicalism. Rather than flogging a dead horse, Crump forces the discussion to address the central question of hermeneutics. Whether or not his fellow evangelicals will accept the hermeneutical paradigm shift he argues for has yet to be seen, but his arguments from scripture are well made and merit an equally careful response by Christian Zionists. For those who stand outside this evangelical debate, the book provides a comprehensive and well documented overview of the assumptions and arguments of Christian Zionism, as well as an insight into how evangelical hermeneutics influence their social ethics.
