Although many observers focus on Christian Zionism's influence on American foreign policy, or whether or not Christian Zionism is 'truly' religious, \u003cem\u003eRighteous Gentiles\u003c\/em\u003e takes a different approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough his creative and critical analysis of Christian Zionists' rhetoric and mythmaking strategies, Durbin demonstrates how they represent their identities and political activities as authentically religious.
