Based on interviews of eight key figures in this new trend and an analysis of their poetry, Beyond Political Messianism: The Poetry of Second Generation Religious Zionist Settlers tells the story of how they revolutionized the religious Zionist settler culture by moving poetry into the mainstream of that culture and how they introduced into the world of secular Israeli literature images and language drawn from their lives as religiously observant Jews. Among the themes central to these poets' concerns are: the formation of a religious identity based on faith and ritual observance, the relationship of the contemporary Jew to the Bible and to traditional Jewish texts, appropriate ways to write about erotic experiences, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 410 0$aIsrael (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aIsraeli poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGod in literature 606 $aPrayer in literature 615 0$aIsraeli poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGod in literature. 615 0$aPrayer in literature. 676 $a892.4/1708 700 $aJacobson$b David C.$f1947-$01615449 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815265503321 996 $aBeyond political Messianism$93945656 997 $aUNINA
