| Title | Late Ninteenth Century Zionism and Political Neede for Subversion of the Messianic Idea |
| Summary | This thesis analyses the historical role of messianism in the formation of Zionism during the late Nineteenth century. By examining the messianic idea’s application to various political and social movements, I explore the adaptations that were made to both religious and national doctrine. Ultimately subversion and secularization of the messianic idea became a necessary component in the formation of Zionist ideology. Thus, through the analytic lens of messianism, the fluidity of Jewish voices of authority is revealed. |
