It was in 1988 that Mitri Raheb was ordained Pastor in the
Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land and was
installed as Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in
Bethlehem after finishing his seminary studies and doctorate in
Germany in Church History. Besides being a Pastor, Mitri Raheb
continued to be involved in the theological discussion and research
both at home as well as in regional and international settings. The
selected articles were given by Rev. Raheb at several occasions.
The first article on Christianity and Religious plurality was given
at Fuller Seminary in 2003 during the author sabbatical as Mission
Partner in Residence with the PCUSA. The second and third articles
on the political and ecclesiastical context in the Arab Peninsula
during the 6-7th centuries were part of a Post doctoral research
that the author did during his stay at Harford Seminary in
Connecticut. The article on the History of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Jordan and the Holy Land is a summary of the author's
doctoral dissertation at Marburg University and of his German book
"Das reformatorische Erbe unter den palaestinensern" published by
Guetrsloh in 1990. The article on the Situation of the Palestinian
Christian community in the Holy Land was given as lecture to
several church delegation interested in the situation of the
Christians of the Holy land, while the article on the Arab Spring
was given at a regional conference in Lebanon. The last chapter of
the book is different in nature since it is actually a short
lecture given at a hearing at the Danish Parliament,
Christiansburg, in Copenhagen on May 21st 2012. Diyar publisher is
happy to publish these mostly unpublished articles of Rev. Dr.
Mitri Raheb to coincide with his silver ordination in May 2013.
