This book addresses the universal theological dimension of
reconciliation in the context of the Israeli Messianic Jewish and
Palestinian Christian divide. Palestinian Christians and Israeli
Messianic Jews share a belief in Jesus as the son of God and
Messiah. Often, though, that is all they have in common. This
remarkable book, written in collaboration by a local Palestinian
Christian and an Israeli Messianic Jew, seeks to bridge this gap by
addressing head on, divisive theological issues (as well as their
political implications) such as land, covenant, prophecy and
eschatology which separate their two communities. The struggle for
reconciliation is painful and often extremely difficult for all of
us. This unique work seeks to show a way forward. COMMENDATIONS "In
a world that wants to see only one side of every conflict (and this
one especially), where people believe only their own propaganda,
and where many Christians inhabit hard shells of theological,
political and apocalyptic certainties, this book is a bravely
different voice. Rather, it is two voices talking carefully,
honestly, graciously, respectfully and truthfully to each other -
as sisters and brothers in the Messiah should. This is a unique
conversation in which each partner, Messianic Jewish Israeli and
Palestinian Christian, gives full expression to all that they are
and think and feel about themselves and the conflict in their land.
We are treated to some stretching theological debate and some
honest self-criticism. But above all we come to share the hope and
courage that shines through the pain and struggle." - Christopher
J. H. Wright, International Ministries Director, Langham
Partnership, UK "The Palestinian-Israeli divide may be the most
intractable conflict of our time. With great courage, honestly
facing the turbulent political, historical, and theological
landscape which authentic reconciliation must engage, Munayer and
Loden open up fresh space. Given the divides between their
communities, this book is a remarkable achievement, a cry of hope
from the land where Jesus walked." - Chris Rice, Director of the
Center for Reconciliation, Duke Divinity School, USA
