Yosef Salmon is professor emeritus of Jewish Modern History at Ben-Gurion University, Beer Sheva, and has been a visiting professor at Columbia University, Jewish Theological Seminary, Harvard University and Yale University. His publications include “Shivat-Zion” (Modern Judaism 22:2) and Religion and Zionism: First Encounters (Magnes Press, 2002).

"The religious movement within the Zionist project has been the subject of widespread research, particularly in the field of religious philosophy. This book lays a foundation for research that is primarily historical. Lately, Jewish nationalism as a historical phenomenon has faced criticism, on both the ideological and academic levels. Not only is this now a topic of academic research, it is also a subject of public debate in Israel and throughout the Jewish world. For this reason, this book should occupy a central place on the bookshelf of all who are involved with issues related to Jewish nationalism and the relationship between religion and nationalism."
