Salmon, Yosef. Religion and Zionism: First Encounters. Hebrew
University Magnes Press. November 2001. ISBN 965-493-092-7.
[This book deals with the role that Jewish religion played in
the evolution of the Zionist movement, both in the
consolidation of a Jewish national consciousness and in the
actual day to day activity of the Jewish nationalist movement.
Insofar as national consciousness was concerned, a recurring
question in the early movement was whether religious identit
constituted a necessary component of nationalist identity. This
book traces the tweists and turns of the interaction between
these two forces in Jewish history from the early 1860s until
1920.]
