What Is Zionism?
Does Dispensationalism mock human rights? Does it blindly support aggression against Palestinian Christians, Arab Muslims and Jews? Tim Weber writes that Dispensationalism emerged in the 1870's having originated about four decades earlier (1830's) in England in the teachings of John Nelson Darby. (Road to Armageddon, p. 13).
