The Fervent Embrace – Liberal Protestants, Evangelicals, and Israel de Caitlin Carenen

The Fervent Embrace – Liberal Protestants, Evangelicals, and Israel

Autor Caitlin Carenen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mar 2012
When Israel declared its independence in 1948, Harry Truman issued a memo recognizing the Israeli government within eleven minutes. Today, the U.S. and Israel continue on as partners in an at times controversial alliance--an alliance, many argue, that is powerfully influenced by the Christian Right. In The Fervent Embrace, Caitlin Carenen chronicles the American Christian relationship with Israel, tracing first mainline Protestant and then evangelical support for Zionism. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, American liberal Protestants argued that America had a moral humanitarian duty to support Israel. Christian anti-Semitism had helped bring about the Holocaust, they declared, and so Christians must help make amends. Moreover, a stable and democratic Israel would no doubt make the Middle East a safer place for future American interests. Carenen argues that it was this mainline Protestant position that laid the foundation for the current evangelical Protestant support for Israel, which is based primarily on theological grounds. Drawing on previously unexplored archival material from the Central Zionist Archives in Israel, this volume tells the full story of the American Christian-Israel relationship, bringing the various - American liberal Protestants, American Evangelicals, American Jews, and Israelis - together into one historical narrative.

Recenzii

"The Fervent Embrace is the product of remarkable research and shows a commendable mastery and balance. A welcome contribution." Stephen Spector, Yale University"Deeply researched, insightful, and sharply focused, The Fervent Embrace appears at a time when foreign/international relations history is waking up to the crucial importance of religion in shaping policy. Carenen’s cutting-edge, discerning analysis will prove valuable to scholars and students of foreign relations history, domestic politics, and religious studies." Frank Castigliola, University of Connecticut“Using a different scope than other scholars looking at American Protestants and Israel, Caitlin Carenen examines mainline Protestants and evangelical Protestants in the same volume. In so doing, she hopes to correct the misperception that mainline Protestants have been “monolithically antisemitic and anti-Israel” and to add nuance to discussions of evangelicals, whose relationship to the State of Israel has drawn scrutiny because it is, as she aptly puts it, “somewhat sensational”. She contributes to both religious studies and political science by adding to our knowledge of the role religion played in the formation of U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.A high point of the book is its contribution to our growing understanding of the idea of the “Judeo-Christian tradition” Carenen’s book is particularly welcome as a call for seeing more complexity in the history of American Protestants’ views of Zionism. It also points the way toward studying American Catholics’ views of Zionism.” - Brooke Sherrard, William Penn University, H-Net
