A letter signed by over 100 evangelical Presbyterians theologians challenges evangelical Christians on the issue of Israel.  They assert that:

“At the heart of the political commitments in question are two fatally flawed propositions. First, some are teaching that God’s alleged favor toward Israel today is based upon ethnic descent rather than upon the grace of Christ alone, as proclaimed in the Gospel. Second, others are teaching that the Bible’s promises concerning the land are fulfilled in a special political region or ‘Holy Land,’ perpetually set apart by God for one ethnic group alone. As a result of these false claims, large segments of the evangelical community, our fellow citizens, and our government are being misled with regard to the Bible’s teachings regarding the people of God, the land of Israel, and the impartiality of the Gospel.

What’s remarkable about this letter is that it was written in 2002 while the majority of evangelical Christians were unaware of what is now known as Christian Zionism.”
