The Roots of Christian Zionism: How Scofield Sowed Seeds of Apostasy (2008)

Christian Zionism is a promoted religion, less than 200 years old. The Scofield Reference Bible, first published in 1909 by Oxford Press was used widely in evangelical Christian seminaries. This is We Hold These Truths’ first documentary to explain and challenge the theology of Christian Zionism. It was produced in 2008 and continues to be a valid source for understanding Christian Zionism. Chuck Carlson, founder of We Hold These Truths narrates this video.

We Hold These Truths has released our first documentary on Christian Zionism for free viewing on the internet. This is a must see to understand the nature of a branch of Christianity that puts Israel ahead of Jesus. Ever wonder why so many Christians support America’s many wars, especially in the Middle East? A new Christianity has emerged from the Twentieth Century called Christian Zionism or what could be called, “Angry Evangelicalism,” or “Dispensationalism on Steroids.” What motivates a nationally known, evangelical preacher like John Hagee to call for a preemptive strike against Iran when it is contrary to what Jesus taught and commanded his followers to do? This “Roots of Zionism” presentation may be the first of its kind with a factual explanation of how Christianity’s latest apostate epidemic was launched with the publishing of C. I. Scofield’s reference Bible in 1909, and the influence of the notes in it.
