The Heresy of Dispensationalism: How Christians Betrayed Christ for Israel w/ J.D. Hall

Show notes

In this special late-night edition of The Backlash: After Hours, Dave sits down with writer and theologian J.D. Hall for one of the most provocative theological deep dives ever aired on the show.

Together they trace the origins of Dispensationalism—from John Nelson Darby's 19th-century theology and the Scofield Bible's Zionist influence, to how these ideas reshaped modern American Evangelicalism and foreign policy.

J.D. explains how the belief in "dual covenants" between God and the Jews versus Christians turned Scripture on its head, why modern churches treat Israel as a sacred political cause, and how these distortions fuel war, moral confusion, and misplaced loyalties among American Christians.

From the Abrahamic promise to the roots of Zionism, this candid conversation exposes the historic, political, and spiritual consequences of Judeo-Christian confusion—and why it matters for Catholics and Protestants alike.
