Examination of the Biblical texts that form the basis of evangelical Christian support for Israel, with special reference to the response of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 113-116). / The thesis is set against a background of growing support for Israel and the Jewish people from the Evangelical Christian world. This phenomena is attracting attention from many quarters, including secular as well as religious parties. This support is all the more pronounced because it is happening despite a barrage of antagonism directed against Israel by the world press, international human rights groups and by groundswell of hatred from the Muslim world. In the eyes of their detractors, Israel is an occupying force that is dehumanizing the Palestinians who are the victims of Zionist colonialism.
