Linking Pentecostals and Jews.
An intellectual discussion about the fraternal twin movements:
Zionism and American Pentecostalism.
Everyone interested in Israel and its relationships with
religious groups in the United States will be enthralled with this
thoroughly researched and thoughtfully presented examination of two
world-changing movements.
Shifting Romance with Israel is an intellectual
discussion about the fraternal twin movements: Zionism and American
Pentecostalism, birthed at the beginning of the 20th century. Both
newborns, initially treated as weak and infantile in a religiously
hostile world, had a basis of ideological support in three
centuries of American myth and motif.
The burgeoning Pentecostal movement of the early decades of
the century had great difficulty persuading Christian
contemporaries of the legitimacy of their unique doctrine. To
assure the perpetuity of the Pentecostal movement, a Latter Rain
ideology was created, which used the contemporary Zionist revival
as corroborating evidence to restore Israel to Zion and the Church
to its radical first-century apostolic essence.
Full of credible research and biblically supported substance,
the truths within will cause Jews and Christians alike to consider
their spiritual relationship with Israel.
