Across the Divide Podcast Christian Zionism in the Global South with Crystal Silva-McCormick- Christian Zionism Series #6
In Daniel's conversation with Crystal Silva-McCormick, they discuss the spread of CZ throughout Latin America and the Global South. Crystal helps us make sense of the reasons for that interest and expansion in poor environments, and how the prosperity gospel often goes hand in hand with Christian Zionism. They then discuss how Latina/o theology and local expressions of faith in Latin American can give us some insights about the ways we can respond to Christian Zionism. In their extended conversation for our Patreon supporters, Daniel and Crystal discuss her work through Christians for a Free Palestine.
