Our Vision

 

As a multidimensional initiative, the Institute for the Study of Christian Zionism (ISCZ) aspires to be the primary resource for the study, critique and response to Christian Zionism, the first place people turn for anything and everything to do with Christian Zionism. Through rigorous analysis, documentation, research, media initiatives, and advocacy, we aim to expose, challenge, and confront the destructive heresy of Christian Zionism.
 

Our Work

Stay tuned! We are in the process of developing:

  1. A comprehensive digital library of critical resources on Christian Zionism.
  2. An online journal dedicated to the study of Christian Zionism.
  3. A regular series of online conferences and seminars on Christian Zionism.
  4. A discussion forum addressing all aspects of Christian Zionism.
  5. The commissioning and publication of new research on Christian Zionism challenging Christian Zionist theology, organizations and authors.
  6. International contacts and language-based regional hubs in South & Central America, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and the Middle East to challenge the rise of Christian Zionism globally.
  7. A new course on Christian Zionism led by Palestinians and designed for use in Palestine.
  8. A network to promote the critical study of Christian Zionism in seminaries, colleges, and universities globally.

The Problem & Our Response

Christian Zionism has become a global movement, providing the extremist government of Israel with networks of political, economic and false theological and ideological support on every continent.

With Israel´s vision to establish sovereignty over all of historic Palestine, with full political and economic backing from the United States, the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians from their land is underway as Israel implements a racist Apartheid system and actively works to reduce the Palestinian population.

The Christian Zionist movement has been underestimated and often dismissed by politicians, the religious community, and Palestinian activists and analysts, until now.

In response, ISCZ works to:

  1. Develop and implement a strategy designed to alter the present narratives and discourses on Palestine, as we promote a justice-oriented and decolonizing framework for all parties engaged in non-violent change, whether religious, political, legal, economic or human rights focused.
  2. Articulate an orthodox, biblically-grounded theology of liberation committed to justice and equality, as we amplify and equip the prophetic voice of the Church as it pertains to Israel/Palestine.
  3. Emphasize the continuity of the Church’s witness and prophetic stance throughout the ages, and provide for a proper position to be taken by the global Church in relation to Palestine/Israel.
  4. Provide materials for use by ordinary Christians to present a genuine biblical position as it pertains to Palestine/Israel, in contrast to those views promulgated by Christian Zionists.
