After Vatican II, the Roman Catholic Church began a process of
stripping away anti-Jewish sentiments within its theological
culture. One question that has arisen and received very scant
attention regards the theological significance of the founding of
the state of Israel in 1948 - and the attendant nakba, the plight
of the Palestinian people. Some American evangelical Christians
have developed a theology around the state of Israel, associating
themselves with Zionism. Some Christian groups have developed a
theology around the suffering of the Palestinian people and demand
resistance to Zionism. This unique collection of essays from
leading Catholic theologians from the United States, Germany,
France, Italy, Switzerland, England, and the Middle East reflect on
the theological status of the land of Israel. These essays
represent an exhaustive range of views. None avoid the new Catholic
theology regarding the Jewish people. Some contributors see this as
leading towards a positive theological affirmation of the state of
Israel, while distancing themselves from Christian Zionists. All
contributors are committed to rights of the Palestinian people.
Some affirm the need for strong diplomatic and political support
for Israel along with equal support for Palestinians, arguing that
this is as far as the Church can go. Others argue that the Church's
emerging theology represents the guilt conscience of Europe at the
cost of the Palestinian people. None deny the right of Jews to live
in the land. Two Jewish scholars respond to the essays creating an
atmosphere of genuine interfaith dialogue which serves Catholics to
think further through these issues.
