This collection of essays concerns the development of
contextualized theologies of liberation in Palestine and the
indigenous Palestinian people's struggle for justice and
liberation. The work is innovative because of its inclusion of
indigenous perspectives within its remit and the introduction of
new concepts such as civil liberation theology. The collection
offers other ways to look at biblical discourses and their impact
on the ongoing conflict, ways to live peace, ways to be ethical
when visiting these conflicted lands, understandings of resource
ethics, and even a new way to understand how we approach our
understanding of liberation theology. Contributors include
well-known scholars from Muslim, Jewish, Christian,
Palestinian-Israeli, Indian, American, and British contexts. This
work goes beyond standard academic collections. It is aimed not
only at scholars and students but also at peace activists and
policymakers. It should be of use not only in academic courses but
also for practitioners of conflict resolution, peace and
reconciliation. "This is an exceptional collection of cutting-edge
essays that challenge the traditional theologies and ideologies of
Christian Zionism and contemporary political Zionism. Drawing upon
feminist and other liberation theologies, as well as secular
political analysis, readers will be rewarded by the profound
analysis of these exceptional authors." --Donald E. Wagner,
National Program Director, Friends of Sabeel: North America Nur
