This unique book offers the Arab reader an authentic Christian, and even theological, approach to the Palestinian issue.
The Palestinians today are wounded, detained and despised, and the Christian faith does not accept neutrality in such cases, as neutrality is bias towards the strong against the smaller brothers. True faith does not accept submission or surrender. Rather, it is only satisfied with freedom, justice, and love, and the path to it passes through resistance and struggle in its many forms.
Christo El-Murr provides theological illumination for a theology that refuses to cheaply spiritualize faith by transferring it to metaphysics. Rather, the writer calls for conscious and active faith, which is conscious faith due to his awareness that evil in this world was never the result of chance or fate, but rather is the product of an organized social, economic, and political system. It must be dismantled. From this standpoint, the writer calls for confronting the Israeli apartheid regime as a responsibility of faith."
