Christian attitudes towards the State of Israel, 1948-2000
"Paul Merkley draws on interviews with numerous key figures within the government of Israel, spokesmen for the Palestine Authority, and leaders of all the major pro and anti-Zionist Christian organizations, as well as the published literature of many Christian churches with an interest in the question of Israel's past, present, and future, to demonstrate that Christian attitudes towards Israel remain remarkably polarized."--BOOK JACKET
