"Cooperation and Competition" analyzes the shifting interfaith alliances between Jewish Zionists and Protestants between the end of the nineteenth-century and 1979, the year that President Jimmy Carter, an evangelical Southern Baptist, negotiated the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty. Specifically, it asks how the rise of anti-Zionism among liberal Protestants, triggering the initial 1950s breakdown in the Jewish-liberal Protestant Zionist alliance and causing growing dissension within liberal Protestant denominations, precipitated the decline of Jewish-liberal Protestant Zionist relations and ushered in a new era of interfaith relations between Jewish Zionists and evangelicals. Although this narrative emphasizes the ideological, denominational, and organizational changes that occurred from the beginning of World War II to the end of the 1970s, it also traces the development of the Zionist movement in the United States and the formation of distinctive theological boundaries between liberal and conservative Protestants. Protestant theological debates from the 1890s to the 1920s, along with the formation of the Federation of American Zionists in 1898, the main political Jewish Zionist organization in the United States, therefore also comprise the story of changing Jewish-Protestant Zionist alignments from the 1890s to the 1970s.
