Description

Foreword by Walter Brueggemann

Addressing what many imagine the sector’s so much controversial conflict, Naim Ateek offers a succinct primer on liberation theology within the context of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and self-determination. Starting with the historical roots of this struggle, he displays how the memory of the Holocaust served to trump the claims and aspirations of the native inhabitants of Palestine, and the way later Israeli occupation and settlements within the West Bank have contributed to their suffering and oppression.

Supported by many Western Christians, Israeli claims to the land depend on a selected exclusivist reading of the Bible. Against this, a Palestinian theology of liberation responds with a counter-strategy for biblical interpretation, emphasizing the prophetic themes of inclusivity and justice. Ateek concludes by providing principles for achieving security, peace, and justice for all peoples in Israel/Palestine.
