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, Israeli diplomacy, and international relations after
World War II. According to Daniel G. Hummel, conventional
depictions of the Christian Zionist movement-the organized
political and religious effort by conservative Protestants to
support the state of Israel-focus too much on American evangelical
apocalyptic fascination with the Jewish people. Hummel emphasizes
instead the institutional, international, interreligious, and
intergenerational efforts on the part of Christians and Jews to
mobilize evangelical support for Israel. From missionary churches
in Israel to Holy Land tourism, from the Israeli government to the
American Jewish Committee, and from Billy Graham's influence on
Richard Nixon to John Hagee's courting of Donald Trump, Hummel
reveals modern Christian Zionism to be an evolving and deepening
collaboration between Christians and the state of Israel. He shows
how influential officials in the Israeli Ministry of Religious
Affairs and Foreign Ministry, tasked with pursuing a religious
diplomacy that would enhance Israel's standing in the Christian
world, combined forces with evangelical Christians to create and
organize the vast global network of Christian Zionism that exists
today. He also explores evangelicalism's embrace of Jewish
concepts, motifs, and practices and its profound consequences on
worshippers' political priorities and their relationship to Israel.
Drawing on religious and government archives in the United States
and Israel, Covenant Brothers reveals how an unlikely mix of
Christian and Jewish leaders, state support, and transnational
networks of institutions combined religion, politics, and
international relations to influence U.S. foreign policy and,
eventually, global geopolitics.
