New Book Offers Biblical Response to Attacks on Christian Zionism
By ICEJ USA STAFF
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to escalating public attacks on Christian Zionism—from cable news rhetoric to official statements from the patriarchs of the Orthodox Churches in Jerusalem — Dr. Susan Michael, president of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem – USA, has released a new booklet offering a direct, biblical rebuttal to a dangerous wave of confusion, misrepresentation, and theological drift within the global church.
Titled Christian Zionism: A Biblical Response to Confusion, Criticism, and Cultural Pressure, the booklet confronts recent claims branding Christian Zionists as extremists, heretics, or even mentally compromised, and challenges assertions that Christian support for Israel is spiritually harmful or divisive. Grounded in Scripture, church history, and the Bible’s covenant promises — not politics — Dr. Michael’s book offers clarity to Christians facing growing cultural pressure and misinformation.
“When Christian Zionism is mocked as a ‘brain virus’ or condemned as dangerous by church leaders, the issue is no longer political disagreement — it is biblical illiteracy,” said Dr. Michael. “This book asks a simple question: Has God revoked His promises to the Jewish people? How Christians answer that question has enormous theological, moral, and spiritual consequences.”
Dr. Michael, a leading voice in Jewish-Christian relations for more than four decades, argues that the current backlash against Christian Zionism mirrors earlier theological errors that once fueled antisemitism in the church. She warns that dismissing God’s covenant with Israel ultimately undermines the credibility of Scripture itself and impugns the character of God.
The book arrives as Christian media audiences grapple with rising antisemitism, confusion over Israel, and public rebukes of evangelical theology by both secular commentators and voices in the church. It also comes just weeks ahead of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention, where Dr. Michael will be available for interviews to address these controversies head-on.
Media outlets are encouraged to book interviews with Dr. Susan Michael to discuss:
- Why Christian Zionism is not heresy—and never has been
- The biblical and historical roots of Christian support for Israel
- How theological anti-Zionism fuels modern antisemitism
- Why this debate is ultimately about how Christians read the Bible
Christian Zionism: A Biblical Response to Confusion, Criticism, and Cultural Pressure is published by Embassy Publishers and is now available on Amazon.
