Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the relationship between American Protestants and Palestine from 1842-1917. The eastward views of Palestine drew the ancient biblical past into the present for Protestants, thus bringing a



sharper focus to a new frontier and inventing the idea of a Christian Holy Land.
