A Match Made in Heavenby Zev Chafets
HarperCollins 2007; US$ 9.99In a time of jihad ''against Jews and Crusaders,'' the Jews of America and Israel find themselves with a powerful albeit unlikely ally: tens of millions of American evangelicals.

The volume, in particular, argues that the essential turning point in relations between Christians and Jews occurred in the eleventh century, especially the early eleventh century when the first wave of persecutions of the Jews took place. Note on non teleological nature of development although the prominent theme explored in this volume is the emergence of the medieval anti-Jewish tradition, several chapters will show that open hostility toward... more...
