Daniel Hummel, director for university engagement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Upper House, returns to continue the discussion on Christian Zionism in the United States since 1948. In this episode, the group picks up with the rise of the new Christian right in the 1970s and the role of Zionism therein, dispensationalism and its notion of Jews and Israel, the Israeli right’s concurrent rise to power, Jimmy Carter as a non-Zionist evangelical, the Camp David Accords, Ronald Reagan’s relationship with Christian Zionism, and where the movement stood on the eve of the Oslo Accords.
A toxic mix of religion and politics, the TV Christians and the Israeli settler movement. In my 12 years in Catholic schools never once heard of any connection between the Old Testament Jews and the modern Israelis.
Excellent guest and series. I went back and listened to the first episode again, and appreciated it almost as much on second hearing.
Does anyone else always think of DMX’s ‘where the hood at’ every time the intro music plays? Was this intentional?
It's by my group Moloq, but looking up the DMX song, it is quite similar. Totally coincidental. Whoops!

“The anti-Christ will force a false peace deal in the Middle East that will ultimately lead to Israel’s destruction”
I feel like I’m back in Sunday School
