Biblical scholar Dr. Gary Burge is the dean of the faculty and professor of New Testament at Calvin Seminary in Michigan. Here Burge explains in simple language what we need to know about Christian Zionism. And he goes on to critique it from a Christian point of view. Burge belongs to the “Reformed Tradition” which is a title for those coming from the protestant reformation centered on John Calvin. When he says “Reformed Tradition” just think “Christian Tradition.” For Burge’s article in The Banner (click here): Gary Burge article. For more of Burge’s writing on this topic, see his book, Whose Land? Whose Promise? What Christians Are Not Being Told About Israel and the Palestinians, and also, Jesus and the Land: The New Testament Challenge to Holy Land Theology.
