Isn’t it good to build relationships between communities, especially in contexts of conflict? Why do people who are experiencing oppression sometimes see such relationships as a problem? What does normalization mean? How should oppression be resisted? These questions and others are critical in the Palestinian Christian community as it debates how it should respond to the oppression of the occupation. The Bethlehem Institute of Peace and Justice at Bethlehem Bible College gathered important theologians and leaders in April 2023 to discuss these issues in an academic symposium. This book is a transcript of the presentations and discussions. The final section includes powerful Palestinian Christian voices speaking after the outbreak of war in October 2023. For those seeking to learn more about the issues that are foremost in the Palestinian Christian community, this is a valuable window into contemporary discussion.
