A message for Israel and Evangelicals: Genesis isn’t a policy guide With a dogmatic loyalty to Israel born out of a literal interpretation of the Bible, is the American Christian Right the new Jewish lobby in US politics?

A message for Israel and Evangelicals: Genesis isn’t a policy guide
"with a Palestinian bid for statehood planned for September and escalating tensions in the region, there’s too much at stake to use God as a real estate broker. To avoid a potentially violent flash point, leaders must look to a peaceful constituency – not the political ploys – of the world’s great religions, all converging in this Holy Land." Walter Rogers
