Christian Zionism-a movement based on the belief that support of
Israel, and Israeli ownership of and residence in Jerusalem, is a
prerequisite for Christ's return-has been a significant substratum
within theologies and ecclesiologies of many churches in the US and
Europe for centuries. Since the 1970s, US-based Christian Zionism
organizations, encouraged by and collaborating with the Israeli
government, have used a significant amount of resources to spread
the movement into other regions of the world, including Africa. In
many African countries, Christian Zionism combines perniciously
with Prosperity Gospel preaching, interpreting Genesis 12:3 as a
divine map to gain blessings-material and otherwise-through
complete and uncritical support for the modern-day State of Israel.
Many African governments have come to understand that this support
is lucrative--and coercive. African officials working with Israel
learn that openly supporting Palestine will result in their
partnerships with Israel being discontinued. Contributors to this
interdisciplinary volume analyze the meaning and ramifications of
the emergence of Christian Zionist ideologies in Africa and its
churches, in interfaith work, in politics, in law, and in the use
and abuse of power between peoples of different races, histories,
economic strength, and influence on the international stage.
