A SHORT HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
From the Reformation to the Twenty-First Century
This book is about an idea―namely, that Scripture mandates a Jewish return to the historical region of Palestine―which in turn morphed into a political movement, rallied around a popular slogan ("A country without a nation for a nation without a country"), and eventually contributed to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Christian Zionism continues to influence global politics, especially U.S. foreign policy, and has deeply affected Jewish–Christian and Muslim–Christian relations ....

The Manuscript Journal of Joseph Oppenheimer, City Missionary
