"I believe Stephen Sizer is one of the most authoritative scholars in
the world on the vital issue of Christian Zionism. He is a very
important voice speaking out against this destructive movement that is
killing us [Palestinians] through its theology."
Canon Naim Ateek,
Founder & Director of Sabeel, Jerusalem (author of Justice and Only
Justice).
"Sizer's well-researched study is of considerable value… Christian
Zionism unearths the taproot of a belief system that exerts enormous
influence in contemporary America. Based on supposedly infallible sacred
texts, these beliefs help determine how millions of Americans, and
millions more worldwide, view the bloody and seemingly insoluble
conflicts that torment the Middle East, bringing such suffering and
heartache to its peoples."

Wisconsin-Madison (editor-in-chief of the Oxford Companion to

"Stephen Sizer's Christian Zionism : Road Map to Armageddon? is
essential reading for any western evangelical trying to understand the
religious dimensions of American support for Israel. Sizer writes as an
insider within the church, not as a critic watching from afar. And he
shows with exacting clarity how evangelical eschatology has now embedded
itself in a modern political ideology. One quick read of this book will
change anyone's perspective on the Middle East permanently."

Told About

"Stephen Sizer's, Christian Zionism: Road-map to Armageddon? is a book
every Christian should read. Christian Zionism is one of the most
serious issues of our time. Despite being seriously flawed, it has
significantly shaped the beliefs of many sincere Christian people as
well as foreign policy of governments concerning the Middle East. Sizer,
with exacting and extensive research, has exposed Christian Zionism as
not only erroneous, but dangerous. This is without doubt the most
thorough critique I have read and I urge Christians everywhere to read
it also."
