I Am a Palestinian Christian: God and Politics in the Holy Land: A Personal Testimony
Mitri Raheb explores the recent history of
the Palestinian Christians, and the complex
meeting of the world's three major
monotheistic religions. Clearly and without
rancor, his book situates the continuing
plight of Palestinians in the unique history
of the Palestinian Christians, the national
and regional struggles since World War II,
and the rich yet complex juncture of the
world's three major monotheistic religions.
In the pains and hopes of his people, Raheb
reveals an emerging Palestinian Christian
theology.

"Here is an important new theological
voice raising crucial issues of biblical exegesis and theological
interpretation. Raheb's work in contextual Palestinian theology
is also highly relevant to Western Christians, particularly those
wrestling with post-Holocaust theology and Jewish-Christian
relations."
--Clifford Green

"Raheb wishes Western Christians to
understand the Palestinian Christian's reality, of which they
have been deeply ignorant and whom they have injured and betrayed in
that ignorance. He also grapples with how Palestinian Christians can
develop a local theology that can be both truthful and helpful in
mediating the conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians and among
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam."
