Reviews
". . . an important corrective to many stereotypes. . . . Rausch tells a story too little known, one that shows how a particular 19th-century reading of Daniel and Revelation led some American conservative Protestants to be Zionist before Zionism and, later, against anti-Zionist Jews." - The Christian Century
"The survey of the material is extensive. . . . This important work reveals two things. (1) There is some kind of a meeting of traditions; it may be three religious voices: Liberal Protestantism, Fundamentalist-Evangelicalism, and Zionism. (2) Antisemitism is alive and well in Christian America." - Journal of Ecumenical Studies "The book is extremely well documented and deals fairly with fundamentalist ideology. It is a thoughtful, well-researched study." - Review and Expositor
"Rausch's research and documentation meet professional standards; indeed, the endnotes contain a great wealth of material. . . . [For] scholars seeking easy access to a previously neglected subject, this book will provide a rewarding richness of detail." - Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"This thoroughly researched book is valuable not only for its specific contribution to understanding Fundamentalism and Zionism, but as a major work within the field of American religious history." - The Syracuse Jewish Observer
