Danny and Derek sit down with Daniel Hummel, director for university engagement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Upper House, to discuss the emergence and rise of Christian Zionism in the United States since 1948. In this first part, they get into the pre-WWII roots of the movement, Evangelical Christians’ relations with Muslims of the region in the early days of the State of Israel, the theological basis of Christian Zionism, figures like Douglas Young and Billy Graham, the concept of Judeo-Christianity, the effect of the 1967 War on the relationship, and more until the Nixon Administration.

this was fantastic, y'all. I grew up in Southern Baptist congregation and home (father is a preacher). I still identify as evangelical like Daniel, but I'm still working through that. I went to at least five annual meetings and nearly fell into Christian Zionism myself. If it hadn't been the 2014 Gaza war, I probably would have. really excited for the rest of this episode and also for reading Daniel's book.

Derek's room changed my life!
My anglo super Christian mother loves Israel. She became of age during the 70s Jesus uprising in US. Yup. Thanks for helping me understand.
Those poor jews they just have to go back to die in Armageddon!
