This book is the first to investigate the effect of the biblical Holy Land on American religious institutions, from early Puritanism in 1620 to Judaism in 1948. It explores the attachment between religious America and the Land of Israel from a pluralistic perspective, tracing the history of religion in America as it relates to the spiritual and geographical identity of the Holy Land.
This is an immensely learned and erudite book. Greenberg has mastered an enormous literature, organized it and presented it in an innovative way, and demonstrated unsuspected parallels that cut across religious lines. An invaluable contribution. -- Jonathan Sarna, Brandeis University
