COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rooftop Productions, LLC announces the release of "With God On Our Side".  Directed and produced by Porter Speakman, Jr.

Shot on location in the Middle East, USA, & England -- the filmmaker has interviewed both proponents and opponents of a theology known as Christian Zionism.

Release: The film is available from Amazon.com.

Synopsis: "With God On Our Side" takes a look at the theology of Christian Zionism, which teaches that because the Jews are God's chosen people, they have a divine right to the land of Israel. Aspects of this belief system lead some Christians in the West to give uncritical support to Israeli government policies, even those that privilege Jews at the expense of Palestinians, leading to great suffering among Muslim and Christian Palestinians alike and threatening Israel's security as a whole.

This film demonstrates that there is a biblical alternative for Christians who want to love and support the people of Israel, a theology that doesn't favor one people group over another but instead promotes peace and reconciliation for both Jews and Palestinians.

Endorsements:

"The first obvious challenge of 'With God On Our Side' was articulating a perspective on the Middle East debate anchored in history and sound theology. Porter Speakman, Jr. has not only met that test, but also delivered one of the clearest assessments of the struggle between Palestinians and Jews, and a US Church largely unaware of their complicity in the current conflict. Speakman's second more ominous challenge will be obtaining an audience, often steeped with established notions, open to wrestling with the film's content. The hope of an ongoing Christian presence in the Holy Land may depend on the success of his message... I dare anyone to see this film and remain unchanged." -- Steven W. Haas, Vice President/Chief Catalyst, World Vision United States

"This film is informative, it's inspiring, it's challenging and it summarizes in brilliant fashion, what the problem is and what needs to change in order to solve the problem. I don't know of anything quite like it ­- and I would have to say the church desperately needs it." -- Tony Campolo

"I can't think of any form of media in recent years that deals more clearly and powerfully with the most complex region of the world. I can't recommend it enough!" -- Carl Medearis is the co-author of "Tea With Hezbollah"

Running Time: 82 minutes
