Which side are you on? Israel? Palestine? Jews? Arabs? Warriors? Peacemakers? Bombers? Boycotters? Here's a Christian Palestinian point of view. No matter which side you're on (and 'sides' may be the central problem) here is an essential and unique perspective. Anyone who has any opinion about Middle East conflict needs to read this compact and easy-to-read book.
"In this pioneering work, Mitri Rehab shows that the land and people of Palestine stand in a 2500-year history of occupation by successive empires. Jesus is central to the struggles for a more just and abundant life 'in the face of empire.' Christians need to understand their faith in this context." Rosemary R. Reuther
Ouch!! The author sees a reality that we as American Christians miss. Needs to be re-read more than once.
