I saw a few months ago a Lutheran critique of Lahaye's "End-Times" series but I can't find it now. A friend is writing a thesis on American Christian Zionists and I wanted to draw her attention to it . :(

Wonder what other Traditional Christian denominations make of the Rapture Cult...most of Bush Junior's non-Jewish lackeys seem to adhere to it.
Was Hal Lindsey the first great popularizer of this heresy?

Yes, I think one has to point to his 'Late, Great Planet Earth' as the watershed event that mass disseminated pre-mil dispensationalism to hungry baby boomers looking for something to make sense of the post-Vietnam world.

[QUOTE=Quantrill]True, although the Millerites, the Seventh Day Adventists, and C. I. Scofield did their parts as well.[/QUOTE]I think the [URL=http://www.originaldissent.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13423&highlight=scofield]Scofield bible[/URL] fundamentally of course was the driver of dispensationalism, although it of course has gone through many phases.
It should be noted of course that the initial interpretation of dispensationalism among American evangelicals hardly equated to the dogmatic and unnuanced worship of Israel found in todays dispensationalists. Strong anti-semites like Gerald B.Winrod, although they recognized some of the latent dangers in dispensationalism, continued to preach their own version of it, coupled with evangelicalism toward the Jews, eventually coming up with a complex theology that allowed him to believe both in his own brand of dispensationalism while simultaneously adhering to the [I]Protocols of the Elders of Zion[/I].
I think Hal Lindsey seemed to inaugerate the modern trend in dispensationalism as the march of an infallible Israel, bolstered of course by the timeliness of his book with the 67 war.

Thanks, Colonel...America's foreign policy became exponentially more pro-Zionist with that blasphemous propaganda.
Sad to see millions of those loons abused and exploited by the Wall St./Tel Aviv Axis of Greed and Treason...

[QUOTE=albion][url="http://www.virginiawater.co.uk/christchurch/articles/hallindsey.HTM"]http://www.virginiawater.co.uk/christchurch/articles/hallindsey.HTM[/url] [/QUOTE]I didn't realize how hard core Lindsey's opposition to Dominion Theology was. I think he's referring to the Dominion Theology of people like Francis Schaeffer, who supposedly influenced Jerry Falwell so much in the beginning.
Never mind, one legacy of dispensationalism (although to some extent its a cause also) seems to be noone takes fundamentalist Protestant theology seriously anymore. I'm not talking about the culture in general (which never did) I'm talking about the preachers themselves, who seem determined to hold contradictory positions simultaneously.
