Christian Zionism has its roots in the Purtianism of Cromwell's England. In America, the movement was popularized by the book ''Jesus is Coming'' (1878), a [[Dispensationalism|Dispensationalist]] account by William E. Blackstone. ''The Scofield Reference Bible'' (1917) by Cyrus I. Scofield also played a crucial role in popularizing this viewpoint. The Moral Majority, founded by Falwell in 1979, turned fundamentalists into a political pressure group.
