Amid shifting currents of opinion among American Christians about Israel, the Institute on Religion & Democracy hosted a discussion on Christian Zionism in America July 12th, 2018 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Gerald McDermott of Beeson Divinity School, an ordained Anglican clergyman, discusses his new book Israel Matters: Why Christians Must Think Differently About the People and the Land. Samuel Goldman of George Washington University discusses his new book God's Country: Christian Zionism in America. Both discuss pro and anti-Israel trends in American Christianity. McDermott's book offers a new Christian Zionism distinct from often popular Dispensationalist and apocalyptic perspectives.
