Weaving together the stories of activists, American Jewish leaders, and Israeli officials in the wake of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Covenant Brothers portrays the dramatic rise of evangelical Christian Zionism as it gained prominence in American politics and international relations after World War II.
Daniel G. Hummel is a postdoctoral fellow in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Hummel has written a masterful, very readable book that manages at
once to mount a surprising argument and tell compelling narrative
history."
*The Forward*
"Anyone seeking to understand the Palestine conflict and U.S.
support for Israel needs to take seriously, as Daniel Hummel does
in this excellent book, the American Christian Zionist
movement."
*Washington Report on Middle East Affairs*
"[A] compelling, thoroughly researched argument that Christian
Zionism has been first and foremost a Christian-Jewish
reconciliation movement, with Israel at its center . . .
Altogether, Covenant Brothers is going to prove indispensable to
scholars of Christian Zionism and even Jewish-Christian relations
writ large. And it is certainly accessible enough for
nonspecialists seeking to understand the emergence of a movement
currently enjoying unprecedented political sway during the Trump
presidency, as well as for those interested in glimpsing at the
movement's future."
*H-Judaic*
"Engagingly written and persuasively argued, Covenant Brothers is
based on extraordinary primary research that amply demonstrates
that we cannot understand U.S.-Israel relations without examining
the impact Israel had on American opinion."
*Andrew Preston, University of Cambridge*
"Covenant Brothers is a smart, compelling, and pathbreaking book.
The arguments are provocative, in the very best sense. Daniel G.
Hummel challenges his readers to see their worlds in new ways. This
deeply researched book will stand as the definitive study of
American Christian Zionism for a long time to come."
*Matthew Avery Sutton, Washington State University*
