This week we're looking at a hilariously grim foundational text of Christian Zionism: John Hagee's mid-aughts book "Jerusalem Countdown." We discuss the history of non-Jewish Zionism, the nature of the United States and Israel's relationship, and why no one can admit that Iran has gotten the upper hand against Israel and the U.S. We also talk discuss a few other texts in this, including Patrick Wolfe's "Traces of History," Regina Sharif's "Non-Jewish Zionism: Its Roots in Western History," and Adolf von Harnack's "The Expansion of Christianity in the First Three Centuries."
