A critical examination of political Zionism, a topic often
considered taboo in the West, is long overdue. The discussion of
Christian Zionism is usually confined to evangelical and
fundamentalist settings. The present volume will break the silence
currently reigning in many religious, political, and academic
circles and, in so doing, will provoke and inspire a new,
challenging conversation on theological and ethical issues arising
from various aspects of Zionism - a conversation that is vital to
the quest for a just peace in Israel and Palestine. The eleven
authors offer a rich diversity of religious faith, academic
research, and practical experience, as they represent all three
Abrahamic faiths and five different Christian traditions. Among the
many themes that run through Zionism and the Quest for Justice in
the Holy Land is the contrast between exclusivist narratives, both
biblical and political, and the more inclusive narratives of the
prophetic Scriptures, which provide the theological foundation and
the moral imperative for human liberation. Readers will be drawn
into a compelling, readable, and stimulating series of essays that
tackle many of the complex issues that still confound clergy,
politicians, diplomats, and academic experts.
Television has eclipsed the church and school as the most dominant
storyteller in our culture. Watching What We Watch discusses the
various aspects of "reading" television, helps us to understand how
television creates meanings, and teaches us to assess the truth and
value of those meanings. Watching What We Watch provides an
accessible framework for analyzing television theologically and
from the perspective of our values and beliefs. A team of experts
uses examples from popular television shows to to explore the
forces that drive television production and to challenge viewers to
consider what things they should appreciate about television and
what things they should call into question.
