By locating Christian Zionism firmly within the Evangelical tradition, Paul Wilkinson takes issue with those who have portrayed it as a ""totally unbiblical menace"" and as the ""roadmap to Armageddon."" Charting in detail its origins and historical development, he argues that Christian Zionism lays the biblical foundation for Israel's restoration and the return of Christ. No one has contributed more to this cause than its leading architect and patron, John Nelson Darby, an ""uncompromising champion for Christ's glory and God's truth."" This groundbreaking book challenges decades of misrepresentation and scholarship, exploding the myth that Darby stole the doctrine of the pre-tribulation Rapture from his contemporaries. By revealing the man and his message, Paul Wilkinson vindicates Darby and spotlights the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ as the centerpiece of his theology. ""Few dedicated Christian scholars have been attacked more unfairly than John Nelson Darby. . . . This well researched and readable book carefully sets the record straight and makes a valuable contribution to prophetic studies."" --Tim LaHaye, minister, educator, and best-selling author ""I highly recommend this excellent treatment of a controversial subject that has confused many."" --Dave Hunt, author, cofounder of The Berean Call ""This work should quickly become a standard on Christian Zionism and Darby's influence on this important movement."" --Mark Hitchcock, Adjunct Professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and Pastor of Faith Bible Church, Edmond, Oklahoma ""For Zion's Sake represents a major step forward in the study of the origins and impact of Christian Zionism, balancing scholarly rigor with personal commitment in a fine work of historical and theological reflection."" --Crawford Gribben, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern Print Culture, Trinity College, Dublin ""For any student of ecclesiastical and political history, as well as systematic and historical theology, this book is essential reading."" --Randall Price, Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, Liberty University Paul Wilkinson holds a BSc in Mathematics from York University, and a BA, MA, and PhD in Theology from Manchester University. He has studies at the International School of Holocaust Studies in Jerusalem, and is currently writing on philo-Semitism. He is Assistant Minister at Hazel Grove Full Gospel Church in Stockport, Cheshire.
