This book is dedicated to the history of religious Zionism - an integral part of the public life and politics of modern Israel. The phenomenon is examined historically and ideologically-theologically, revealing the details of how human initiative led to immediate and surprisingly decisive action in the form of outright rebellion against the passivity of the Jewish people in exile, as well as refusal to wait for divine deliverance. The study covers the period from 1902, which the author considers the year of the founding of this movement, to the present day.

The author reviews the history of religious Zionism from both a historical and an ideological-theological perspective. His basic assumption is that religious Zionism cannot be fully understood solely through a historical description, or even from social, political, and philosophical vantage points.
