Witnessing for Peace: In Jerusalem and the World
The rapidly deteriorating situation in Israel/Palestine has dashed
hopes of any imminent peace or even accommodation between the Israeli
people and the Palestinian people. A leader in Palestinian
Christianity, and an outspoken advocate of nonviolence and of
Palestinian rights, Bishop Munib Younan directly addresses this
situation and its
imperatives. Born of Palestinian refugee parents and raised in
Jerusalem, Younan has spent his life pastoring Palestinian Christians
and searching for nonviolent solutions in this complex and volatile
religious and political scene.
In this volume, Younan presents first the historical and social context of the Palestinian situation, beginning with the not-well-known story of Arab Christianity and his own background. He elaborates his own theology of nonviolence, centered in the idea of martyria-heeding a call to justice, inclusion, and forgiveness. He illustrates the notion with dramatic and often tragic episodes and shows how it can address key issues in the current struggle with Israel over statehood, land, and refugees. Younan's model of Christian nonviolence also has demonstrable benefits in addressing terrorism, interreligious strife, and global peacemaking.
Younan's is a voice all Christians of conscience should hear.
