Regent University Israel Institute
Since October 7, academia has been increasingly marked by anti-Israel propaganda and antisemitism, leaving Jewish students harassed and threatened at institutions across North America. While evangelical Christians remain broadly supportive of Israel, a critical education gap leaves younger believers vulnerable to these narratives and committed pro-Israel Christians ill-equipped to counter them. The Robertson School of Government's Israel Institute exists to meet this challenge — the only graduate-level institute for the study of the modern state of Israel at a biblically faithful Christian university in the United States, promoting research, education, and public engagement rooted in Regent's Christian mission, Judeo-Christian principles, and a deep commitment to the Jewish people.
Our work
The Institute supports research, education, and public engagement in accordance with its mission.
Promoting robust Christian scholarship on Israel
One of the most effective ways to counter academia’s antisemitic drift is to raise up a generation of Christian scholars who are committed to objective, fact-based research on Zionism and contemporary Israel. The Israel Institute supports this work through fellowships for PhD students whose dissertation projects are consistent with these goals.
Educating the next generation of Christian pro-Israel activists
Much of the Institute’s work focuses on educating students about contemporary Israel from a Christian perspective, through speaker series, reading groups, facilitating travel to Israel with high-quality partner organizations, and developing credit and non-credit Israel-related course offerings.
Informing the public about Israel and Christian support for Israel
The Institute provides fact-based commentary and conversations about Israel for a general audience, and works to inform the public about the full spectrum of Christian support for Israel — breaking down stereotypes that have marginalized Christian Zionist voices.
