OVERVIEWWilliam Eugene Blackstone is a largely forgotten figure of 19th century
American life, but his particular brand of Christian faith subsequently helped to launch an
important movement of evangelical America in the 20th century, namely, Christian Zionism.
A unique mix of traditional evangelical piety, Bible prophecy, dispensational eschatology
(end times teaching), and a belief in (facilitating) the restoration of Jews back to their
ancestral lands (in his day then known as Palestine), WEB combined all of these elements to
become a public humanitarian voice for Jewish relief from persecution in Europe (Russia in
particular) and full restoration to Palestine. Once engaged in this process, he would spend
the rest of his adult life lobbying important American public and political figures to save
Jews and promote their restoration. Your task in this assignment is to explain the ideas,
beliefs, and events that would shape his life and influence as a Christian Zionist, including
his impact on the Jewish Zionist movement that would find its most popular base of
American support, like today, among evangelical Christians like him. You are also
encouraged to comment on what you believe are some of the more important consequences
Length: 5-7 double spaced pages (not including additional pages for title and references).
You may write more pages if necessary.
and historic events motivated him to support Jewish restoration? Be specific enough to help
the reader understand what he believed and why. **Caution: Do not confuse this William
some of the longer-term consequences of his beliefs and policy recommendations for
Diaspora Jewry on the one hand, and USFP in the Middle East on the other? Be critical
here—does it seem that WEB really understood the consequences of his ideas for the
Palestinian locals—
recommendations still relevant to USFP today? WEB clearly left a legacy in the US and
Palestine. Can you talk about this whether positive, negative, or both?
