Summary

It's taken for granted by a surprisingly large number of American Christians today that their religious faith requires them to be Zionists and strong partisans of the current state of Israel. This view is at odds with the universal testimony of Christendom for 1800 years. Adam Francisco, our guest, is Director of Academics and Scholar in Residence at 1517. He earned his DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2006 and served as Professor of History, Dean, and Assistant Provost in the Concordia University System for nearly two decades.

Get ready to take a flamethrower to the official narrative and learn what the elites don't want you to know.

You're listening to The Tom Woods Show.

0:18.6

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. It's episode 27004, the Tom Woods Show. And I'm delighted to be

0:23.8

joined today by Adam Francisco, who is Director of Academics and Scholar in Residence at 1517,

0:30.2

which I think is 1517.com. Is that right, Adam?

0:33.9

Dotorg.

0:34.6

Dotorg, I beg of pardon. Yeah, yeah. Don't type.com. I don't know where that takes you. Dot org. 1517.org. He earned his defil from the University of Oxford in 2006 and served as professor of history, dean, and assistant provost in the Concordia University system for nearly two decades. That's the Lutheran University system. Yeah, Lutheran Church, Missouri Senate. Missouri Senate, yeah, the ones you should. If you're going to be a Lutheran, you want to be those

0:57.5

people. So welcome to this show, Adam. Thank you. It's great to be with you. I got to know you or know of you

1:05.2

because I have a friend who's a senior pastor at a Lutheran church in Dallas, And I asked him, who would be a good Protestant

1:12.3

scholar to talk about this particular issue of Christianity and Israel and the Jewish people?

1:20.4

And I said, I want it to be a Protestant scholar. My Catholic listeners will go berserk, but I'm sure

1:25.5

they'll understand that I don't want it to be, well, of course, that guy's a Catholic. Of course he's going to say such and such.

1:56.1

absolutely mainstream approach, nothing weird, nothing exclusively Catholic, exclusively Lutheran about it.

2:02.6

It's just examining, in effect, 2,000 years of Christian Orthodoxy. So you're ready?

2:08.5

I think so. Two thousand years and 40 or 50 minutes sounds great.

2:11.8

We ought to do it. Now, you are just finishing up a course for the Scott Horton Academy on this exact thing.

2:18.8

So scotthortonacademy.org is where you go.

2:21.7

Now I just did a dot org on me.
