My friend, Rob Dalrymple, at DetermineTruth ministries is producing a series of interviews with me where we discuss the six Christian Zionist myths that I deconstruct in my new book, The Power of Myth: Israeli Propaganda and Christian Zionism.
I plan to provide links to each interview here at HumanityRenewed as soon as they become available.
The first Israeli/Christian Zionist myth we discuss is the claim that modern Israel is the direct descendant of biblical Israel, such that all of God’s Old Testament promises to Abraham and his descendants are now properly applied to the modern state of Israel.
As you can guess, I argue that this is not true.
Of course, the book covers more information than we can discuss in each brief interview. So, I encourage you to read the book to get the full story!
Also, the book’s introduction discusses the nature of propaganda and its application by the Israeli governement. Something we don’t talk about in this series.
Also, the concluding chapter, titled “Truth, Morality, and the Kingdom of God”, hones in on the Christian, ethical imperatives to reject (Zionist) propaganda. We don’t have a chance to cover this chapter in the series either. However, my main point insists that citizens of the kingdom of God, must insist on truthful narratives–the very opposite of Zionist propaganda–that prioritize Christian commitment God’s justice and mercy in this world.
