"In this study of Lord Shaftesbury - Victorian England's greatest humanitarian and most prominent Christian Zionist - Donald M. Lewis examines why British evangelicals became fascinated with the Jews and how they promoted a "teaching of esteem" that countered a "teaching of contempt." Evangelicals militated for the restoration of Jews to Palestine by lobbying the British cabinet on foreign policy decisions. Professing their love for the Jews, they effectively reshaped the image of the Jew in conversionist literature, gave sacrificially to convert them to Christianity, and worked with German Pietists to create a joint Anglican-Lutheran bishopric in Jerusalem, the center (in their minds) of world Jewry. Evangelical identity evolved during this process and had an impact on Jewish identity, transforming Jewish-Christian relations. It also changed the course of world history by creating a climate of opinion in the United Kingdom in favor of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which pledged British support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The movement also bequeathed a fascination with Christian Zionism to American evangelicals that still influences global politics"--Provided by publisher.

Depuis quelques années, la critique d'Israël a pris la forme d'une disqualification généralisée du sionisme. Ses enjeux sont désormais, explicitement, non pas la politique des gouvernements israéliens, l'occupation des territoires conquis en 1967 aux pays arabes ou les implantations juives dans ces territoires, mais la légitimité de l'idée d'un Etat juif et, donc, l'existence même d'Israël. Pourtant, la coexistence de deux Etats, un Etat juif et un Etat arabe, selon la résolution de l'ONU de 29 novembre 1947, est non seulement la base juridique de toutes les tentatives de mettre fin au conflit israélo-arabe, mais aussi la seule base possible historiquement, politiquement et moralement de toute solution juste et durable à ce conflit. La délégitimation et la diabolisation d'Israël, partagées par de larges couches de l'opinion occidentale, notamment dans l'intelligentsia, sont donc autant d'expressions d'un aveuglement politique. Elles constituent surtout un véritable scandale moral, qui se manifeste à travers les différentes façons par lesquelles la Shoah est devenue une arme idéologique contre Israël et le sionisme. Cet ouvrage analyse et critique l'idéologie perverse de la diabolisation de la victime (le Juif) et son retournement imaginaire en bourreau (l'Israélien) à partir de trois contextes : le négationnisme de certains courants de la gauche radicale en France et l'antisionisme de certains milieux intellectuels occidentaux ; ensuite, ce que l'on a coutume d'appeler désormais le " post-sionisme " israélien ; enfin, l'invention de la dénonciation d'Israël chez Hannah Arendt.

Democratizing Judaism is a two-part examination of the Reconstructionist philosophy of Mordecai M. Kaplan. Part I is largely devoted to a defense of Kaplan against several serious critics. It also provides new insight into Kaplan's theology through reference to hitherto unknown passages in his diaries. Part II provides a critical analysis of the contemporary Reconstructionist movement and explores how a Kaplan disciple treats problems of democracy in Israel and issues of ethical theological concern.

Today, Zionism is understood as a national movement whose primary historical goal was the establishment of a Jewish state. However, Zionism's association with national sovereignty was not foreordained. Zionism and the Roads Not Taken uncovers the thought of three key interwar Jewish intellectuals who defined Zionism's central mission as challenging the model of a sovereign nation-state: historian Simon Rawidowicz, religious thinker Mordecai Kaplan, and political theorist Hans Kohn. Although their models d
