Senior Thesis Title: The Bad Theology of Our Israel First Foreign Policy

Senior Thesis Statement:  Dispensationalist theology and the Christian Zionist movement in America has a strong influence on our foreign policy and causes politicians to prioritize religious convictions over basic moral standards and the nation’s overall interest. The Christian Zionist movement is not only a poor political decision for America but it is also theologically incorrect.

Brief Description of Senior Thesis:. I will argue that Christian Zionism is both theologically incorrect and harmful for America’s overall best interest.
