Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Hummel has written a masterful, very readable book that manages at once to mount a surprising argument and tell compelling narrative history." *
The Forward *
"Anyone seeking to understand the Palestine conflict and U.S. support for Israel needs to take seriously, as Daniel Hummel does in this excellent book, the American Christian Zionist movement." *
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs *
"[A] compelling, thoroughly researched argument that Christian Zionism has been first and foremost a Christian-Jewish reconciliation movement, with Israel at its center . . . Altogether,
Covenant Brothers is going to prove indispensable to scholars of Christian Zionism and even Jewish-Christian relations writ large. And it is certainly accessible enough for nonspecialists seeking to understand the emergence of a movement currently enjoying unprecedented political sway during the Trump presidency, as well as for those interested in glimpsing at the movement's future." *

"Engagingly written and persuasively argued,
Covenant Brothers is based on extraordinary primary research that amply demonstrates that we cannot understand U.S.-Israel relations without examining the impact Israel had on American opinion." * Andrew Preston, University of Cambridge *
"
Covenant Brothers is a smart, compelling, and pathbreaking book. The arguments are provocative, in the very best sense. Daniel G. Hummel challenges his readers to see their worlds in new ways. This deeply researched book will stand as the definitive study of American Christian Zionism for a long time to come." * Matthew Avery Sutton, Washington State University *
