SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study explores the relationships between religious concepts and the dilemmas and challenges that animate those concepts within the everyday lives of Jewish Political Pietists (religious Zionists) in Israel. It argues that religious experience reflects particular modes of political practice. A focus on religious ideas and concepts must rest alongside the political, economic, and cultural factors that motivate or give 'meaning' to the daily lives of religious nationalists.
