Apocalyptic movements in contemporary politics: Christian Zionism and Jewish Religious Zionism.

This dissertation focuses on the ‘theo-political’ core of US Christian Zionism
and Jewish Religious Zionism. The political militancy characterizing two
Millenarian/Messianic movements such as Christian Zionism and Jewish
Religious Zionism constitutes a still under-researched and under-theorized
aspect that, at present, is paramount to address for its immediate and long
terms implications in the highly sensitive and volatile Israeli-Palestinian issue,
in the US and Israeli domestic domain, and in the wider international
community. Although processes of the ‘sacralisation of politics’ and
‘politicisation of religions’ have already manifested themselves in countless
forms over past centuries, Christian Zionism and Jewish Religious Zionism are
unprecedented phenomena given their unique hybridized nature, political
prominence and outreach, mobilizing appeal amongst believers, organizationalcommunicational
skills and degree of institutionalization. / Consortium for Peace Studies at Calgary University
