Lord Shaftesbury: The cornerstone of the Zionist Movement in England

Church History

In the bustling days of Victorian England, one man stood out not for political power but for his profound influence on social legislation and a genuine commitment to Christian ideals. Anthony Ashley Cooper, later known as Lord Shaftesbury, earned a reputation as the "Evangelical of Evangelicals." His childhood shaped his life in parliament. We look at his social work in the asylums, mines, factories, and ragged schools that helped shape England. And his advocacy for the restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land.
