Ep 92: Dispensationalism, the Scofield Bible & the Road to Genocide in Palestine
Episode description
In this episode, I dive deep into the theological and political forces that have shaped modern Christian Zionism. We trace the origins of Dispensationalism, a 19th-century theological framework popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible, and explore how its interpretations of biblical prophecy fueled unwavering evangelical support for the establishment of Israel.
But what are the real-world consequences of this ideology? We uncover how dispensationalist beliefs have been weaponized to justify the ongoing dispossession and genocide of Palestinians, with Western Christian Zionists playing a key role in shaping U.S. foreign policy. From Scofield’s financial backers to modern-day political alliances, we break down the connections that have turned religious doctrine into a tool of empire and settler-colonial violence.
Join us as we challenge the narratives that have been used to erase Palestinian suffering and ask: How did a 19th-century theological movement become a driving force behind one of the most devastating conflicts of our time?
