[Shore] has collected Jewish and non-Jewish book manuscripts that have rarely, if ever, been explored by scholars. (Yaakov Ariel, author of An Unusual Relationship: Evangelical Christians and Jews) This is an impressive and needed book: compellingly written, deeply engaging, and grounded in original research. Its primary contribution is to explain the story of Jewish-Christian rapprochement mostly associated with post-Holocaust developments as having its origins in the 1930s. This argument is provocative and worth further scholarly investigation." - Daniel G. Hummel, author of Covenant Brothers: Evangelicals, Jews, and U.S.-Israeli Relations "Shore's careful research and cogent analysis brings the rallies to life and effectively draws links to broader developments, such as the growth of Christian Zionism. It's a thought-provoking examination of the complex bonds between these two faiths." - Publishers Weekly
