Christian Zionism and the Missionizing Impulse (46)

Many Jews have ambivalent feelings about Christian support for Israel. On the one hand, we're thrilled to have friends and supporters; but on the other hand, at what cost? Is Christian Zionism a ploy to support Israel and, in the process, convert unsuspecting Jews to Christianity? Is the missionizing impulse a key aspect of Christian Zionism? What, exactly, do Christian Zionists really want? To answer these questions, Scott Kahn spoke with John Enarson, a Christian who comes from an Evangelical background, and who is the Christian Relations Director at Cry For Zion. Also joining the conversation is Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, a leading media voice in the field of Jewish Christian relations, and an educator and consultant for the Outreach Department of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
