Reviews

"""The strongest aspect of Jewish Fundamentalism and the Temple Mount is Inbari's examination of publications put out by representatives and leaders of the various extremist groups and his close attention to what group members say among themselves."" - Studies in Contemporary Jewry ""Motti Inbari's book is a detailed, nuanced, and profound exploration of the main groups and individuals that constitute the fundamentalist right in Israel, and that have the resurrection of the temple as the basis of their ideology ... His evenhanded account enables the reader to comprehend the logic of marginal groups."" - Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies ""This book contributes valuable, well-documented information about aspects of Jewish fundamentalism in the state of Israel ... Inbari's book should be read by anyone interested in Jewish fundamentalism."" - Journal of Church and State ""...contributes immeasurably both to an understanding of contemporary Jewish messianism and to the sociology and psychology of religion in general."" - CHOICE ""...[Inbari] provides the reader with an insight to a topic, which was by and large neglected by scholarship so far."" - H-Net Reviews ""The strengths of Inbari's analysis derive from the large scope of his investigation and the broad perspective he takes. He examines Jewish Temple Builders, but at the same time does not neglect to look at their Christian evangelical supporters. The book adds enormously to our knowledge of Jewish religious thought and it should be required reading for anyone interested in the subject."" - Yaakov Ariel, University of North Carolina"
