In this volume, Profs. Bumin and Inbari draw upon their years of studying the attitudes of Evangelical and Born-Again Christians toward the State of Israel. They discover both diversity and development in this complex religious tradition that undercuts facile generalizations about them. They find that religious, social, and political ideas are changing among these varied Christian communities. Of special note are emerging generational differences among these Christians. This book deserves careful study by everyone concerned about international politics and interreligious relations.
Motti Inbari is Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. His books include Ruth Blau: A Life of Paradox and Purpose, The Making of Modern Jewish Identity: Ideological Change and Religious Conversion and Jewish Fundamentalism and the Temple Mount.
