"A fascinating story. . . . Highly recommended to Jewish as well as
Christian readers, and especially to Israelis."--Israel Studies
Review
"A fresh look at the movement that spawned the Jewish
homeland."--Jewish Book World
"A smartly conceived and original approach to the history of
Zionism. . . . Concludes with a fascinating examination of the
relationships between evangelicals, the Bush presidency and
Israel."--Christian Century
"All told, the value of Zeal for Zion lies in bringing together the
overlooked Christian Zionists into a single volume."--Haaretz
"Compelling. . . . A welcome addition to the growing body of
literature on the very important subject of 'Israel in the eyes of
the Gentiles.'"--American Jewish History
"Engaging. . . . There is much in this book that is new and
important. Zeal for Zion will undoubtedly stand as an important
source of information and insight."--American Historical Review
"For those who think Christians are either far right,
pro-Israel/anti-Arab Evangelicals or far left, pro-Arab/anti-Israel
'mainline' Protestants and Catholics . . . Zeal for Zion should
come as good news."--Jerusalem Post
"Important if sometimes unsettling readings of history that could
point to a reshaping of the traditional Zionist story. . . . A very
useful and comprehensive review of the Protestant role in the
establishment of Israel. . . . [A] necessary piece of historical
housecleaning."--Jewish Review of Books
"Shalom Goldman has succeeded in dealing with [Zionism] in a
remarkably fair, clear, and informative way."--Times Literary
Supplement
"The material that has been drawn on and the way in which new light
has been shed on a diverse group of Christian supporters of Zionism
is a most welcome and important addition to the
literature."--Church History
