Robert Nicholson - The Evangelical-Israel Alliance - JLC 2018

Presented by Robert Nicholson at the 2018 Conference on Jews and Conservatism on October 28, 2018.
Evangelical support of Israel is essential to the U.S.-Israel relationship. In this special breakout session, Founder and Executive Director of the Philos Project, Robert Nicholson, reports on the state of Evangelical Zionism in the Trump era and beyond. The roots of Evangelical love for the Jewish People and their land lie deep in the inherited traditions and holy scripture of Christian theology. But the stirring love that Evangelical Zionists have for Israel also raises deep questions. Is the rising generation of Evangelical leaders moving away from the pro-Israel orientation of their senior pastors? What effect has Donald Trump’s election and presidency had on the question of Israel and her Evangelical supporters? How do Evangelical leaders regard American Jews-especially among the non-Orthodox-who are skeptical of and even hostile to Christian support? Hear Mr. Nicholson’s analysis of Christian Zionism today and how to think strategically about renewing the Zionist alliance at the heart of America’s support for the Jewish State.
