{"product_id":"9780814770689","title":"An Unusual Relationship","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt  is generally accepted that Jews and evangelical Christians have little in  common. Yet special alliances developed  between the two groups in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Evangelicals  viewed Jews as both the rightful heirs of Israel and as a group who failed to  recognize their true savior. Consequently, they set out to influence the course  of Jewish life by attempting to evangelize Jews and to facilitate their return  to Palestine. Their double-edged perception caused unprecedented political,  cultural, and theological meeting points that have revolutionized  Christian-Jewish relationships. An Unusual Relationship explores the  beliefs and political agendas that evangelicals have created in order to affect  the future of the Jews. Additionally, it analyses Jewish opinions and reactions  to those efforts, as well as those of other religious groups, such as Arab  Christians.    This  volume offers a fascinating, comprehensive analysis of the roots,  manifestations, and consequences of evangelical interest in the Jews, and the  alternatives they provide to conventional historical Christian-Jewish  interactions. It also provides a compelling understanding of Middle Eastern  politics through a new lens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185218519314,"sku":"9780814770689","price":84.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780814770689.jpg?v=1774734440","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780814770689","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
