Yet special alliances developed between the two groups in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Evangelicals viewed Jews as both the rightful heirs of Israel and as a group who failed to recognize their true savior. Consequently, they set out to influence the course of Jewish life by attempting to evangelize Jews and to facilitate their return to Palestine. Their double-edged perception caused unprecedented political, cultural, and theological meeting points that have revolutionized Christian-Jewish relationships. This book explores the beliefs and political agendas that evangelicals have created in order to affect the future of the Jews. Additionally, it analyzes Jewish opinions and reactions to those efforts, as well as those of other religious groups, such as Arab Christians. This volume offers an analysis of the roots, manifestations, and consequences of evangelical interest in the Jews, and the alternatives they provide to conventional historical Christian-Jewish interactions. It also provides a compelling understanding of Middle Eastern politics through a new lens UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=575565 ER -
