God's country : Christian Zionism in America / Samuel Goldman
Publication details: Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Press , 2018 Description: 242 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 9780812250039Subject(s): Sionismo | Relaciones internacionales | Estados Unidos | IsraelAbstract: The United States is Israel's closest ally in the world. The fact is undeniable, and undeniably controversial, not least because it so often inspires conspiracy theorizing among those who refuse to believe that the special relationship serves America's strategic interests or places the United States on the right side of Israel's enduring conflict with the Palestinians. Some point to the nefarious influence of a powerful "Israel lobby" within the halls of Congress. Others detect the hand of evangelical Protestants who fervently support Israel for their own theological reasons. The underlying assumption of all such accounts is that America's support for Israel must flow from a mixture of collusion, manipulation, and ideologically driven foolishness.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
