In the highly original \u003ci\u003eZeal for Zion\u003c\/i\u003e, Shalom Goldman makes the case for a wider and more inclusive history, one that brings the substantial Christian involvement with Zionism -- most recently by American evangelical Protestants -- into the light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGoldman offers a fresh perspective on the history of Zionism, deftly weaving together the stories of poets and diplomats, Christian scholars and Jewish leaders, the Vatican and the State of Israel, and modern literary masters such as Jorge Luis Borges, Robert Graves, and Vladimir Nabokov. Goldman argues that Jewish Zionism was influenced by -- and cannot be understood in isolation from -- Christian culture generally and Christian Zionist culture specifically. Shedding light on the deep and interrelated roots of Christian-Jewish relations, fraught with tension and ambivalence, he finds that Christian support for the Jewish Zionist cause has been essential to the success of the movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Zionism has a long history and has been embraced at various times by Catholics and Protestants, liberals and conservatives, reformers and traditionalists. \u003ci\u003eZeal for Zion\u003c\/i\u003e places this vital movement within the larger history of Zionism, making the story of Zionism all the more rich and complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shalom Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469622293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoldman, Shalom:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Shalom Goldman is professor of religion and Middle Eastern studies at Duke University.
