The Politics of Christian Zionism 1891-1948

Informationen zum Autor Merkley, Paul C. Klappentext For this book Prof. Merkeley has researched presidential archives, Jewish historical libraries, and official Zionist records in the US and in Israel for evidence of the dealings between official Zionists and active Christian Restorationists. Much of this record appears here for the first time in print and is linked to the much better known history of the relationship between the official Zionists and the politicians and leaders of the US and Britain. This earlier and significant friendship between the Christian supporters and the Zionist officials is recorded from the beginnings of the public attention in 1891 through to the influence it had on the politicians' actions that would lead to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. Enlightening research for students of American politics, American foreign policy, and American religion - fields that sometimes intersect in ways not readily conceded by academic scholars. Zusammenfassung For this book Professor Merkley has researched presidential archives, Jewish historical libraries and official Zionist records in the US and in Israel for evidence of the dealings between official Zionists and active Christian Restorationists. Inhaltsverzeichnis Zion - see file - in Hebrew - hard copy on shelf Contemporary Review - Norman Berdichevsky Professor Merkley writes engagingly and the reader can feel that this is a subject which is close to the authors heart. It is a valuable book which has much to say that will disabuse many readers of cherished illusions - especially false belief that President Roosevelt was sympathetic to the Zionist cause because of wholehearted Jewish support for his anti-Nazi policies ... This is a warm and revealing book that deserves significant attention.
