A revolutionary consciousness -- Rabbi Reines and the foundation of the Mizrachi -- Religious-Zionist education: beginnings -- Rav Kook: an orthodox-national alternative to Religious-Zionism -- The foundation of the Chief Rabbinate -- Ha-Poʻel Ha-Mizrachi: against the exile and the bourgeoisie -- Criticizing Zionist policy -- The settlement drive -- Religious-Zionism and the Holocaust -- Israel's first years: hopes and disappointments -- From rearguard to vanguard: the struggle for greater Israel -- Religious Zionism in the United States -- Religious Zionism: present and future.
Summary: Religious Zionism is a major component of contemporary Israeli society and politics. The author reviews the history of religious Zionism from both a historical and ideological-theological perspective. His basic assumption is that religious Zionism cannot be fully understood solely through a historical description, or even from social, political, and philosophical vantage points. This book is the first study on this subject to be published in English.
