In this episode Gabriel Polley, the Dakkak Award of the Jerusalem Quarterly, talks about the British Evangelicals and their relationship with and understanding of Jerusalem in the 19th and 20th century. Polley tells us of the deep relationship between religion and colonialism and how the British relied on religious ideas in order to establish their rule in the holy land. Polley also talks about how Evangelicals saw Jerusalem and local Christian Palestinians.
