In this study of Lord Shaftesbury - Victorian England's greatest
humanitarian and most prominent Christian Zionist - Donald M. Lewis
examines why British evangelicals became fascinated with the Jews
and how they promoted a 'teaching of esteem' that countered a
'teaching of contempt'. Evangelicals militated for the restoration
of Jews to Palestine by lobbying the British cabinet on foreign
policy decisions. Professing their love for the Jews, they
effectively reshaped the image of the Jew in conversionist
literature, gave sacrificially to convert them to Christianity, and
worked with German Pietists to create a joint Anglican-Lutheran
bishopric in Jerusalem, the center (in their minds) of world Jewry.
Evangelical identity evolved during this process and had an impact
on Jewish identity, transforming Jewish-Christian relations. It
also changed the course of world history by creating a climate of
opinion in the United Kingdom in favor of the Balfour Declaration
of 1917, which pledged British support for a Jewish homeland in
Palestine.
