Shalom/Salaam/Peace: A Liberation Theology of

"Shalom/Salaam/Peace is about two peoples and three religions struggling for their very survival. The author examines the realities of life in contemporary Israel/Palestine, with its politics, wars, security wall, settlements and ongoing struggles and weaves together the complex issues of the area, such as the ownership of land, water rights, human rights and religious rights." "Those who lead the Palestinian Christian community in this non-violent stance are seen as the 'Davids' of this time, in this place. Be they indigenous Palestinian Christians, or International witnesses and supporters of peace, or Jewish or Muslim peace seekers - all of them are given as examples of what is possible in an impossible situation."--BOOK JACKET.
