Shadows of Zion
As war spreads across the Middle East and tensions between Israel and Iran dominate the headlines, many Christians are asking a difficult question:
What does the Bible actually say about Israel today?

For more than a century, millions of believers have been taught that modern Israel fulfills biblical prophecy and plays a central role in God's plan for the end of history. This belief-commonly known as Christian Zionism-has profoundly shaped evangelical theology, political engagement, and Christian attitudes toward the Middle East.

But does the New Testament actually sustain that framework?

In Shadows of Zion, former intelligence officer and theology student, Mark R. Johnson revisits the biblical foundations often used to support Christian Zionism. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and modern theology, Johnson explores whether the New Testament maintains a permanent distinction between Israel and the Church-or whether the promises of Scripture ultimately converge in Christ and the global people formed in Him.

At a time when world events are pushing Christians to interpret prophecy in real time, Shadows of Zion invites readers to step back from the headlines and return to the biblical texts themselves.

Clear, careful, and deeply relevant, this book offers a thoughtful reexamination of one of the most consequential theological questions of our time.
