Abstract
The American Protestant gaze on the Holy Land has been influenced, not only by Biblical paradigms, but by Orientalist world-views and the process of theming and disneyization. These processes shape the gaze both through the mass-culture industry, as well as within Evangelical churches. By analyzing the construction and narration of two fairly re-cent Biblical sites, we demonstrate how new Holy Land sites are tailored to reflect changing American Protestant gazes and expectations.
