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

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

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?
