David Pawson seeks both to rebut the views held by Stephen Sizer and put forward more clearly what he describes as ‘classic Zionism’.
In his introduction he describes a range of both pro- and anti-Zionist positions. He critiques the most widely held ‘pro-Zionist’ view, namely dispensational pre-millennialism. He describes ‘Five covenants’ of Scripture, the ‘Two Peoples’ that God deals with, the ‘Promised Land’ that is irrevocably given to ‘ethnic’ Israel, and the Second Coming and Jesus’s reign from Jerusalem. In an appendix he criticises a John Stott sermon on the subject of Israel.
