Abstract: "Newberg argues that the Pentecostal missionaries functioned as brokers of Pentecoastal Zionism. He offers a post-colonial assessment of the Pentecostal missionaries, crediting them for advocating philosemitism, yet bringing them up short for disregarding the civil rights of Palestinian Arabs, espousing Islamophobia, and contributing to the forces working against peace in the Holy Land"--From back cover
