Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter examines the modes that religious Zionism adopted in its concern with the issue of the seven nations and the attitude towards them at the time of Joshu's conquest of the land. The discussion is divided into three parts: the general and doctrinal aspects of the religious-Zionist attitude toward Eretz Israel and its foreign inhabitants; specific halakhic approaches bearing on the seven nations; and conceptual and metaphysical approaches bearing on the seven nations
