| Summary: | This collection investigates the rise of Christian Zionism and philo-Semitism across the Global South. These movements are exerting a transformative influence on both international politics and the fabric of global Christianity. These movements are characterised by charismatic evangelical engagement with, and appropriation of, Jewish histories, rituals, and Zionist political views. Despite Christian Zionism’s growing influence in the Global South, scholarly understanding remains limited, with a primary focus on its western origins. Consequently, the specific motivations, cultural adaptations, and theological underpinnings driving this phenomenon in new contexts are poorly understood. This collection addresses this gap by offering a more globally representative and accurate perspective of the phenomenon. While establishing a dialogue with frameworks developed in the Global North, the collection moves beyond a western-centric view to analyse the movement’s transformation across the Global South. It features six contributions, plus an afterword, that explore cases located in Latin America and Africa. This collection serves as a foundational step towards developing a more robust understanding of Christian Zionism in the Global South. |
