CHRISTIAN ZIONISM IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: AMERICAN EVANGELICAL PUBLIC OPINION ON ISRAEL
In Christian Zionism in the Twenty-First Century authors Motti Inbari and Kirill Bumin draw on three original surveys conducted in 2018, 2020, and 2021 to explore the religious beliefs and foreign policy attitudes of evangelical and born-again Christians in the United States.
Inbari and Bumin demonstrate that a generational divide is emerging within the evangelical community, one that substantially impacts evangelicals’ attitudes toward Israel. They also show that frequent church attendance and certain theological beliefs have a profound impact on the evangelicals’ preference of Israel over the Palestinians. Throughout, the authors aim to add nuance to the discussion, showing that contemporary evangelical and born-again Christians’ attitudes are much more diverse than many portrayals suggest.
