Zionism and the Black Church

Why Standing with Israel Will Be a Defining Issue for Christians of Color in the 21st Century

By: Dumisani Washington

Narrated by: Dumisani Washington

Zionism and the Black Church: Why Standing with Israel will be a Defining Issue for Christians of Color in the 21st Century is a discussion of Africa's ancient connection to Israel and the Jewish people, and the historic Black-Jewish synergy in America. It explains the foundation of spiritual Zionism among Black people, and why that foundation will always inform Black support for Israel. It uncovers the origins of an anti-Israel ideology that targeted the Black and African communities beginning in the 1960s, and how that strategy became a mainstay in school curriculum and political policy. Finally, Zionism and the Black Church gives reasons why there is a bright future in the Africa-Israel, Black-Jewish relationship, and charts a clear path forward.

Important Perspective, Timely Message

As the Jewish community frantically tries to address high profile outbreaks of antisemitism emerging from corners of the Black community, Washington’s book is a must read. I learned so much about the deep historical connections between the Jewish and Black communities and came away with an urgent desire for greater reconciliation in light of our shared experiences.

Needed now more than ever

This is something that the US needs to take to heart. History x faith in the best way.

Required reading for Africana Studies

This nonfiction work is the audio equivalent of a page-turner, which is a testament to the expertise of the author who narrates it. This work should be required reading for students of Africana studies as well as Judaic studies, especially given his constant references to primary and secondary sources throughout the work. The focus of this book is neither racism nor conversion, so members of other religions and ethnicities can find this book useful in understanding a nuanced approach to Black history and Jewish-Christian relations. I say this is as rabbinical student.

A must read for all people 

The truth, the in-depth research and confirmations throughout this book help bring to light a lot of questions I had, and it just confirmed that when you ask God about anything he will
Reveal it .
