Yaakov Ariel, professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explored the historical roots and theological motivation of the interest in Jews expressed by Evangelicals since the 19th century, the complexities of the unexpected Evangelical-Jewish friendship, the ambivalent Jewish reactions, and the reactions of non-evangelical Christians and Arabs.
