Manifestations of Political Antisemitism in Christian Zionist Eschatology

This thesis begins with a short biography of C. I. Scofield's life with a focus on his cultural context of racism. Continuing with a glance at Literalism and Fundamentalism, Scofield's theology of dispensations and covenants along with his soteriology and eschatology are outlined from primary sources. A further discussion of the emergence of the 1948 state of Israel, and its influence on dispensational eschatology. Definitions of antisemitism, anti-Judaism, and anti-Jewishness are compared and contrasted. Brief histories of Christian Zionism and British-Israelism are cross referenced with their relationship with political antisemitism. Contemporary criticism of Christian Zionism and dispensationalism is contrasted with far-right eschatology.
