October 7th and Christian Zionisms: Contemporary Jewish-Christian Relations
The panel is presented in partnership with the Academic Engagement Network.
In the wake of the horrific October 7th terrorist attack, many of Israel's most vocal and visible public advocates have been devout Christians. Nonetheless, Christian Zionism remains an underexplored topic in the Jewish community, often shrouded in oversimplifications, inaccuracies, and stereotyping. Gratz College is honored to host a distinguished panel of scholars and theologians who will explore the diversity of Christian Zionisms, theological perspectives, and political dynamics that influence contemporary Jewish and Christian interactions. Don't miss this important conversation and the opportunity to help build bridges across our communities.
